Bomzan Social Service Nepal is a registered non-profit organization supporting students in Solukhumbu with basic school needs since 2011. Today, the initiative supports students across 10 participating schools, reaching around 300–400 students each year.
The support includes school uniforms, school bags, stationery, and sports materials. What began with a small distribution of notebooks and pencils at one school has gradually grown to reach more schools and students across the area.
Why Bomzan Social Service Began
For Lachhuman Tamang, the connection to this work goes back to his childhood. Growing up in Gorakhani, he experienced how difficult it could be to attend school without basic things such as proper school clothes, a school bag, and stationery. He has said that these challenges affected his education.
That experience stayed with him. He did not want children from his community to face the same difficulties, so he began supporting students with practical school needs. The first support was small: a few notebooks and pencils provided to students at Shree Shishakhola Basic School.
Over time, that small beginning grew into what is now Bomzan Social Service Nepal.
From a Few Notebooks and Pencils to Ten Schools
After the first distribution at Shree Shishakhola Basic School, Bomzan Social Service gradually extended its work to other schools in Solukhumbu. Shree Gorakhani Basic School and Shree Jana Chetana Basic School were among the next to receive support.
The expansion continued over time, and Bomzan Social Service now works with 10 participating schools in Solukhumbu.
What Bomzan Social Service Provides
Bomzan Social Service focuses on practical items that students use in their everyday school life. The support currently includes school uniforms, school bags, stationery, and sports materials.
The aim is simple: to help make sure students in the participating schools have these basic materials available for their education and school activities.
How the Support Is Organized
Each year, the participating schools send student measurements to Bomzan Social Service so that school uniforms can be ordered in the correct sizes. Once the uniforms and other materials are prepared, they are transported to the schools for distribution.
Lachhuman personally visits the schools during the distribution, meets the students, and hands the materials directly to them.

The Work in Practice

The distribution usually takes place during October and November, when the prepared materials are transported to the participating schools and handed directly to the students.
Support During the COVID-19 Pandemic
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Bomzan Social Service also provided relief support to local villagers who were facing difficulties after losing work. Relief packages included basic food supplies such as rice, cooking oil and lentils.
The initiative also provided sanitary supplies to the local health post during the pandemic.
Bomzan Social Service and Moon Himalaya Adventure
Bomzan Social Service Nepal is a separate social initiative, while Moon Himalaya Adventure supports its work financially. A portion of the profit MHA earns from its journeys is contributed to the initiative to help continue its work with participating schools in Solukhumbu.
