Global Changemakers

I am a young women activist and an aspiring social entrepreneur from Nepal and represented my country in the Global Youth Summit 2011-London, organized by British Council. I am currently pursuing my Bachelors degree in University of Oklahoma as a national merit scholar. I have/had an innate interest and passion to work in humanitarian activities since an early age which led my way to be selected by British Council as a Global Change Maker- Nepal Youth Representative ’11 (London), United World College Alumni (Representative of Nepal to UWC Norway), Voice of Women Award Winner, an Ambassador of Peace to Nepal in Peace Revolution Campaign 2012 in Thailand and many programs alike where I represented Nepal putting agendas related to empowerment of youths and women in developing countries ahead. I currently work as the president of Nepal Student Association in University of Oklahoma and as an ambassador to WPPC Nepal where I raise awareness about the stringent situation of women trafficking in Nepal and collect funds to support programs initiated by WPPC to rescue/rehabilitate victims back home.
