Business Development

Job description

On the 25th April 2015, Nepal suffered a disastrous Earthquake with a magnitude of 7.8 on the Richter scale and before things could settle, another earthquake of 7.4 magnitude jolted the country again on the 12th May 2015 with hundreds of subsequent aftershocks.

The whole country suffered an inconceivable loss of lives and destruction to property and infrastructure. Thousands of schools and colleges were destroyed and levelled to the ground. With a total loss of over $6 billion USD, equivalent to about 30% of its GDP, Nepal has stood strong to get out of the perils of the disaster and the world has collectively contributed towards restoring stability.

In order to make a small change to the lives of the young children who lost their centres of learning during this disaster, Dolma Gurung together with her partner, Anish Aggarwal of Phoenix Capital Partners and together with Niveda Foundation and the CG Foundation in Nepal, have launched this initiative through a charity registered in the UK, Schools for Nepal.

The aim of this charity is to put its all efforts, energy and resources into building new schools in the remote areas of the country which were either destroyed because of the earthquake and to provide access to education to the children who have been unfortunate to have suffered the trauma of the events of 2015 and lost their schools and in some cases, their loved ones too.

Working alongside the Founder and the other Trustees in facilitating, coordinating and spreading the mission of the charity within the private and the corporate world.

The applicant will be required to meet potential HNI’s, large corporate houses/ institutions and other charities to raise funds and collaborate.

There are many other Business Development opportunities which will be up to the candidate to take as far as they wish.

Desired profile

If you are a self-starter and passionate towards making a difference to the lives of children.
