Growing up in Libali, Bhaktapur, after the devastating earthquake demolished my family’s home in Jenla, I witnessed firsthand the challenges of rebuilding both physically and emotionally. With my father being the only breadwinner in a family of five, I quickly learned the importance of resilience. What started as a childhood dream of becoming a teacher, where I once imagined assigning homework and punishments, has since transformed into a deep passion to inspire and empower students to unlock their full potential.

My mother is my greatest inspiration. Though she lacked formal education, her determination to attend evening classes after a long day of housework helped her learn to write her name and grasp basic math. Watching her earn respect in our community despite her limited schooling taught me that education is not just about academics—it’s about self-development, persistence, and the power to influence lives. Her journey has been a constant reminder for me to never stop learning and growing, no matter the obstacles.

After completing my studies at Tri-Chandra College, I first heard about Teach For Nepal (TFN) from a friend. The more I learned about TFN’s mission to tackle educational inequality in rural Nepal, the more motivated I became to join. I realized that my dream of becoming a teacher aligned perfectly with their mission to provide quality education and inspire students in underserved communities. I wanted to be part of this movement to create lasting change.

Through this Fellowship, I aim to not only teach but also learn—about myself, the power of community, and the difference I can make. TFN offers a platform to uplift students beyond textbooks, teaching them life skills, confidence, and the belief that they can overcome any challenge. This journey will push me to become the educator and changemaker I’ve always dreamed of being.
