Computer Services Assistant at College of the Atlantic
bio
I am passionate about kids being raised with equal opportunities and I work for it through the few organizations I have founded and am currently involved, for the reason that I used to be a kid from a very rural part of Nepal where opportunities for education, health, financial services for my mother, and proper energy were scarce. And because I got one opportunity (in 1998) to change my life (a scholarship to receive education) I have done so in many fronts. Since 1998 I have had the opportunity to travel the world, meet wonderful people, and analyze solutions meant to eradicate poverty. With all the experience from my past and present, I dedicate myself to what I believe the most - change initiated from the bottom of the pyramid to benefit the people living at the bottom. Today I have 7 schools (United World Schools Nepal) in Sankhuwasabha district of eastern Nepal, provide solar energy to 2 villages (Chiraite and Mude of Sankhuwasabha through Diyalo Energy), support farmers with micro loans and training services (through Diyalo Agriculture), and am currently working to establish a health center in Madi Municipality. I do what I do because of the very fact that I lived it, but also because of the inefficiencies of the prior solutions implemented either by development agencies or government entities. I am doing my best to create a well-formulated model to eliminate poverty with a bottom up approach.
