Girls’ Stories: Preeti

Preeti’s Story:

I am Preeti Kulung Rai, a proud beneficiary of the Empower Nepali Girls Organization, and I am eager to express my gratitude for the incredible impact they have had on my life.

Hailing from the picturesque Solukhumbu district of Nepal, life was a constant struggle in a large family of nine siblings, where financial constraints posed a significant challenge to our education. However, at the age of twelve, the Empower Nepali Girls Organization came into my life, offering me a scholarship that not only alleviated the financial burden but also paved the way for a brighter future.

My educational journey began at Shree Yuba Barsha Lower Secondary School in Monju, Solukhumbu, and it was through the organization’s support that I continued my studies without hindrance. As a bright student, I initially thought the scholarship would provide educational materials, but to my delight, I soon discovered that it offered much more – a lifeline of financial support and the opportunity to participate in various awareness programs, including Women’s Day events across Nepal.

Growing up in a large family where my father works as a farmer, the Empower Nepali Girls Organization became my second home. The scholarship not only saved my educational expenses but also allowed me to contribute to my family by supporting the education of my siblings.

Currently, I am in my third year of Microbiology at Xavier International College, and I also hold a position as a science teacher. The journey from a small village in Solukhumbu to pursuing higher education in Kathmandu has been made possible by the unwavering support of the Empower Nepali Girls Organization.

This organization has been more than a financial benefactor; it has been a source of inspiration, sisterhood, and personal growth. The various social projects initiated by the organization have not only impacted my life but have also instilled in me a sense of responsibility and a desire to give back to the community.

As I reflect on the transformative role played by the Empower Nepali Girls Organization in my life, I am inspired to take steps to give back and express my gratitude. My commitment is to continue being an advocate for education and empowerment, especially for young girls facing similar challenges. I aim to contribute to the organization’s mission by actively participating in their initiatives and supporting the education of others in need.

In conclusion, I extend my deepest thanks to the Empower Nepali Girls Organization for being a beacon of hope and empowerment. It is with immense gratitude that I carry forward the values and opportunities they have bestowed upon me, and I am committed to paying it forward to create a brighter future for others.

Sincerely,

Preeti Kulung Rai
