Who We Are

Anthropose is a for-profit social-good company that aspires to recognize and identify social problems and create viable, sustainable and scalable entrepreneurial solutions for them.

We introduced our line-up of eyewear as a means to solve the deep rooted problem of cataracts and high drop-out rate among students attending public schools in Nepal.

While giving the person wearing our eyewear protection, comfort and style by crafting high quality eyewear, we also create a platform for communities to unite together to give the gift of vision and help struggling public school students shore up their fundamentals.

WHY CATARACT ?

The irony of people not being able to afford life-changing cataract surgeries despite world class services being available in Nepal is why we saw the need of a changing dynamic in the country’s eye care system, where support from the government still lacks.

WHY REMEDIAL COURSE?

We believe education is a way for children to change their own stories, the stories of their community and ultimately the story of the nation. Every child in Nepal regardless of where and when they were born, they deserve to learn the foundation skills they need to succeed in school and in life.
