Digital Kala equips Nepal's youth, women, and marginalized communities with the skills, awareness, and confidence to navigate the digital world on their own terms.
We believe digital literacy is the answer. Digital Kala is a non-profit working alongside schools, youth clubs, and community organizations across Nepal. We close the gap between those who benefit from technology and those who are exposed by it.
We don't just teach people to use technology. We help them understand it, question it, and use it safely and meaningfully. Every workshop is designed with the community that will attend it, in the language they think in, on the devices they actually own.
The before-and-after survey figures are from the Digital Kala 2023 project report, prepared for Women LEAD Nepal, across five partner institutions in Kapilvastu and Dang. Reach figures come from our own session records through 2025. Full methodology on the impact page.
Digital Kala is delivered through partners: schools, funders, and community organizations. Here's what different forms of partnership unlock.
A school, club, or community organization hosts a single Digital Kala session on cybersecurity basics, online safety, or digital rights for their students or members.
In-kind partnershipFund the next She Learns Tech cohort: three weeks of intensive training, career mentorship, learning subscriptions, and a laptop for each participant.
Funding partnershipSustain a full year of outreach across schools in a single province. It reaches hundreds of young people who currently receive no digital-literacy education.
Strategic partnershipActive since 2023. Two major grants secured, and continuous programming through 2026.
Hands-on and community-based, delivered in schools, youth clubs, and community organizations across the country.
Practical workshops on internet basics, responsible device use, and the skills to take part online with confidence.
Spotting phishing and scams, building strong passwords, and knowing how to file a cybercrime complaint.
Intensive training in programming, data science, and career skills to close the gender gap in Nepal's IT sector.
Promoting digital citizenship and pushing for more inclusive, effective digital policy in Nepal.
Cybersecurity, online safety, and digital literacy, delivered to schools across a region that rarely sees this kind of programming.

See our impactDigital Kala's session was amazing and a lot of fun. We learned about the consequences of cybercrime, ways to avoid it, and methods to prevent it. Overall I had a great time during Digital Kala's session.
Digital Kala's workshop was new to us. We utilize social media for plenty of purposes, but we were unaware of the impacts. We learned about the need to use strong passwords and ways to avoid scams on the internet. To increase public awareness, Digital Kala should conduct more workshops around the country.
Though I don't use the internet much, I think everyone should become familiar with it. While publishing information on the internet platform, one should think critically about the content of the information. I'm grateful for the sessions. Thank you.
Being part of the "She Learns Tech" program by Digital Kala has been transformative. I gained knowledge in basic computer concepts, Google Sheets, Google Docs, cybersecurity, Python programming, and data analysis. This program clarified my understanding of data and its impact, igniting my interest in data analysis. I plan to apply these skills and explore further resources like DataCamp and Coursera.
The Digital Kala tech and data science workshop was incredibly rewarding. I explored topics like Python, Google Sheets, Google Docs, computer ethics, and cybersecurity. Despite finding Python challenging initially, the supportive teachers helped me learn. The experience enhanced my teamwork skills and provided invaluable knowledge for today's tech-driven world.
Digital Kala's work has grown from its founding outreach of 323 people in Kapilvastu and Dang to two core programs and eight collaborative sessions with 25+ partners across the Kathmandu Valley. In 2026, we register formally and go further.
