Abstract: This community service project, carried out by the Faculty of Economics and Business, Universitas Negeri Jakarta, to Subhakaman School in Kathmandu, Nepal, was intended to alleviate resource constraints and enhance the management of schools so as to cater to less-privileged students. The sustainability of the project included a $500 donation, which was spent on buying two new computers, upgrading the software, and buying a mini projector, thus giving a face-lift to the technological infrastructures at the school. The collaboration took three phases of a donation offer presentation, after which there was the need to identify the needs of the school and establish priorities for using the money, and a final meeting where the management of the respective school reported their achievements. These improvements allowed the students to gain access to modern digital tools and stimulate useful skills, enhancing learning opportunities. This initiative has demonstrated that participatory planning and strategic investments are key in realizing educational equity and sustainability in the most disadvantaged communities.
