The LLEST Project targets two critical educational challenges in Nepal: the shortage of learning materials in local languages for early childhood education, and the lack of quality resources for skill-based training in rural areas. The project aims to enrich early learning with interactive stories in various local languages, while also enhancing vocational training accessibility through digital courses, focusing on bridging educational gaps in underserved communities.

The Digitally Enhanced Early Reading (DEER) Program, a collaborative effort with ONGD-FNEL from 2019 to 2023, aimed to promote promote emergent literacy and early-grade skills in the Nepali language through locally relevant and contextual animated children's stories, and interactive games. The project focused on sourcing local stories from diverse communities across Nepal, creating a rich collection of 50 local stories in the Hamro Ramailo Kathaharu (HRK) platform, complemented by seven interactive games. The project also conducted dissemination campaigns and teacher training sessions in 38 schools across 11 districts, leveraging activities from our other projects. These efforts included dedicated sessions in 7 schools for hearing-impaired learners, ensuring the inclusivity of our educational reach.
