Growing up in Bhindyolachhi, Lalitpur, I never imagined that one day I would be a Teach For Nepal Fellow. My mother, who worked tirelessly in a carpet factory for 20 years and plowed fields at night, always stressed the importance of education. She saw it as the key to unlocking opportunities and creating a better life. And so, despite the challenges we faced, she did everything in her power to ensure I received a good education.

I was lucky to have wonderful teachers like Shovana Ma’am, who not only taught me valuable life skills but also inspired me to become a teacher myself. They made me believe that I too could make a difference in the lives of young students. But just when I thought my journey was set, I received some devastating news. My scholarship program was being cut due to restrictions from the social welfare council. After over a decade of working in education, it felt like my life had come to a halt. That was until I came across Teach For Nepal.

Now, I am more determined than ever to make a positive impact. When I see children overcoming obstacles to pursue their education, I am reminded of the power of education to change lives. It’s a gift that keeps on giving, as educated individuals go on to create opportunities for their own children and their communities.

I am honored to be a part of the equal education for all movement with Teach For Nepal. I believe that every child deserves access to quality education, regardless of their background or circumstances. As a Fellow, I am committed to the process and will do everything in my power to make a difference in the lives of my students.
