EFFECTIVE ALTRUISM
KATHMANDU UNIVERSITY
Facilitating students of KU to make the greatest impact possible
Doing Good In A Way That Actually Counts
The world can feel like a place with endless problems, the realization of which can extinguish the little light of hope and courage in millions of people to contribute to the world. As effective altruists, we assume the responsibility to stop this light in us from flickering and turn it into a raging fire instead that will bring about drastic social impacts while inspiring and enabling others in the same in Nepal and the world- starting from KU students.
EA Kathmandu University is the first Effective Altruism student chapter in Nepal that aims to facilitate KU students in making the greatest possible impact on the world.
