The B-Project
The B-Project stands for Maya Gurung’s home-village, Bhotenamlang. Maya always had a passion to help her home particularly in the areas of education and empowerment. As a child she was denied access to education when she was set up for an arranged marriage at the age of 14. She ran away to escape the wedding but her struggle for education and self-empowerment started. In 2015, when a massive earthquake hit Nepal her home district was worst-hit. All schools in the village were destroyed and students had no safe place for learning. Maya and her team mate Shailee have ever since been working towards recovery of the schools. Their friend, US-based actor Bojana Novakovic visited the village as a volunteer multiple times and became chief patron of The B-Project. The ladies, with the strength of dedicated staff members, and support of many well-wishers have been on a mission to provide safe learning space and quality education to the young rural students of remote village Bhotenamlang.
