Up until, 2 months back, we were giving 50 lunch boxes to the needy 2 times per week. Then we thought hey can we do this every day? Just thinking about it was a shocking idea, we did the maths, Rs 60 per box, per day for 1 months is over 90k… Damn it..
90k for Tech101 that is 20% of the companys overhead per month..
We slept over this idea for weeks thinking what if we are not able to continue.. the needy will be expecting it every day once we start.. Then eventually I decided, lets do it.. what will be will be..
So since 1 Baishak 2083, we have started sharing 50 lunch boxes to 50 needy, every day including Saturdays.. 15% is contributed by Tech101 (Its employees) and rest by the CEO and his family..
Good news is that now we doing it everyday and we will do it for as long as we can..
Not only that we wish to provide the same to 5000 hungry stomachs every day in the future..
I'd like to thank the restaurant owners Mr KC, then Mr Krishna and now Mr Sundar who has been making these lunch boxes and delivering it themselves every day.. to the team at Tech101 for their contributions …

Giving Back to Our Community: At Tech101, we believe in using our resources to make a positive impact. Every week, we partner with a local Kathmandu restaurant to prepare and distribute over 50 hot lunches to those in need at the Mahankal Temple. While it may be a small effort, we believe in the power of collective action and the importance of supporting the most vulnerable in our community.
