Update 10th of February 2025
This is going to be our third edition of the festival. Through the support of our friends from all around, we have been able to make the Ruma Music Festival a successful event, and to give back to the community. This time we need your support to make it even better .
Thank you for all your support!
Hello, my name is Suresh Pun, and I am the coordinator of Music for Education.
Music for Education is a not-for-profit, non-religious, non-political educational program, based in Pokhara, Nepal, and focused on improving the livelihoods and education quality of children in remote and underprivileged regions of Nepal. We are a group of young and energetic music professionals who dream of modernizing the educational system and providing better opportunities for rural Nepali children.
To achieve our aims, we are looking to where our passions and skills combine. We are planning a musical fundraising program: a music festival for national and international music lovers alike, with all revenue going towards our charitable goals.
These goals include, but are not limited to:
- Renovating school buildings
- Improving quality of education
- Improving sanitation and drinking water quality
- Digitalizing libraries
- Enhancing teachers training
- Providing sports facilities
- Supporting educational and cultural tours
- Creating teacher and student exchange programs, and
- Providing wheelchairs and other mobility aids for physically disabled children.
Our first target is Ruma Village, located near our base in Pokhara, Nepal. With your support, we hope to make this first project a success, and to reach out to other villages in Western Nepal.
Funds raised through this campaign will provide for sound and stage equipment and artist fees for the music festival. This will allow us to organize the event, and generate greater returns through ticket sales, with all revenue going directly towards our charitable goals listed above.
Please consider supporting us in our goals through your charitable donations. We welcome and are grateful for all support.
Thank you,
Suresh Pun
