Bungamati Telecenter

Bungamati Telecenter is nestled in the Kathmandu Valley, in traditional older Nepali homes with a largely Newar population. This TC was rated best TC in the country this year and was quite impressive. They hold computer and internet classes for school kids, University students, and locals from the community.

Several of the Bungamati residents are already using BOP Source regularly, so you can interact with them there.

According to Bidya's research for his Masters thesis at Kathmandu University, which was the most comprehensive study of Telecenters in Nepal to date, Telecenters thrive when they are part of a greater ecosystem such as a school or community center, which I think helps explain Bungamati's success.
