Personal Stories
Ramesh Thapa, 28
"I left Tulsipur five years ago because I couldn't find a job that paid enough to support my family. In Dubai, I work 12-hour days in extreme heat, but I can send money home to my wife and children. I miss them terribly and only get to visit once every two years. If there were good opportunities in Tulsipur, I would return immediately to be with my family."
Sunita Gurung, 25
"I came to Australia to study computer science because there weren't any good tech programs in Nepal. I work part-time to cover my living expenses while studying. I'm learning valuable skills and hope to bring this knowledge back to Tulsipur someday, but only if there are tech companies where I can work. I dream of helping build a tech industry in my hometown so others don't have to leave their families behind like I did."
Bikash Chaudhary, 32
"I've been working in Qatar for seven years now. The money is better than what I could earn in Tulsipur, but the working conditions are difficult and I face discrimination. My children are growing up without me, and my oldest barely recognizes me when I visit. I've missed so many important moments in their lives. I'm trying to save enough to start a small business back home so I can finally return permanently."
Anita Poudel, 29
"I work in an electronics factory in Seoul. The work is repetitive and exhausting, but I've learned valuable skills about manufacturing and quality control. I send most of my earnings to my parents in Tulsipur, who are using it to pay for my younger siblings' education. I hope they won't have to leave Nepal like I did. If there were manufacturing jobs in Tulsipur that used technology, I would bring my skills back home."
Help Bring Our Youth Back Home
By transforming Tulsipur into a tech hub, we can create local opportunities that will allow our youth to build their futures here at home, with their families and communities.
