Peak Potential

Peak Potential

Peak Potential is a student-led initiative formed by high school students from the Chinese International School (CIS) in Hong Kong. Inspired by firsthand experiences in rural Nepal, the founders established the organization to champion greater opportunities for Nepali youth in sports and recreation. Their ongoing mission centers on bridging resource gaps by mobilizing support and delivering sustainable, community-oriented projects.

Together, we are working to build inclusive and accessible spaces for physical activity, community engagement, and youth empowerment in mountain and rural regions of Nepal. With Peak Potential's incredible support, we completed our first major sports infrastructure project—a multi-sport court in Simara, Nuwakot. This vibrant space is already fostering community, encouraging physical fitness, and laying the groundwork for local youth clubs and inter-village tournaments.
