Rakchhya Maharjan, Nepal

I am a passionate about diversity, equity and inclusivity. I say this from the position of privilege, having had a top class education despite coming from a third world country. I have travelled the world, worked with high ranking officials, never been hungry in my life but I cannot stand inequity. It makes me shudder with anger and my stomach flips. I need to help those who are vulnerable to understand their true potential just like I am aware of mine.

Through the project Quality Education For All, I aim to improve the quality of education in public schools located in Kathmandu valley. Teachers will be capacitated to provide enhanced and individualized support to students who will have improved performance and confidence in and out of classrooms.
