Student voices
Hear how scholarships, mentorship, and devices change what students believe is possible.
Scholarships
“The stipend arrived the week my father was laid off. It kept me in my hostel and I graduated on time.”
— Kabita, Bagmati scholar
Mentorship
“Career calls in Nepali helped me ship my first portfolio site and practice interviews with alumni.”
— Prakash, Bharatpur mentee
Devices
“Solar-backed laptops meant we could keep learning Python even during outages.”
— Rina, Dhading laptop club
Bagmati · Scholar
After finishing her BSc.CSIT at Tribhuvan University, Sita returned to her public school in Dolakha to run weekend laptop clubs powered by solar-charged batteries.
“Teach For Nepal showed us that community teachers can lead the change. When the landslide cut power, our solar trunk kept everyone's coursework alive.”
Province 2 · Fellowship
Bikash uses refurbished tablets and free fiber from Nepal Telecom to host Scratch and Python sessions for students whose families migrate seasonally for work.
“Karkhana Samuha helped me design tinkering lessons in Maithili. Now parents stay in the classroom because they see their kids building apps for cooperatives.”
Gandaki · Women in Tech
Inspired by organisations like Women Leaders in Technology, Manju built a Nepali-language curriculum and a solar microgrid so girls in Bharatpur can code even during load-shedding.
“Room to Read helped our library years ago; this grant let us add laptops and LED lights so the lab never shuts down.”
Chitwan · Partner school
Principal Rai worked with the Education Cluster, Teach For Nepal alumni, and our team to weave digital leadership labs into the Grade 9 science period.
“Retention is up 30 percent because students see pathways like Deerwalk, Fusemachines, and Khalti hiring Nepali talent.”
