Introduction
“So, carrying water is your housework, Dunisha?”
“Yes.”
“How often do you have to carry it?”
“Every day. We will use it up in a day.”
A girl puts seven bottles of water in a basket. She carries them on her back, pulling the rope by her head. The basket is difficult to carry even for an adult male. Asked “isn’t it heavy?”, she answers “no, I got used to it.” It is only after she finishes all her housework that she can work on homework.”
Dunisha Tolangi is a bright and hardworking 10-year-old girl residing in Thulachhap, Okhaldhunga, Nepal. She is a 5th-grade student at Raktamala Basic School in Jordhara.
“What do you want to be after you grow up?”
“I want to be a doctor.”
“Why?”
“Because when I got sick, a doctor helped me a lot by giving me treatment. I have a strong impression of it.” She answers with a shy face. Her favorite subject is science. She also enjoys playing kabaddi and actively participates in school life.
Despite her lovely characteristic and hope, her family faces challenges in ensuring Dunisha has all the resources she needs to thrive.
Family & Challenges
Dunisha lives in the house of her mother’s sister. Her parents are not living with her. Her father is in Europe, and her mother Ramila Tolangi is in Kuwait.

However, they paid much money to achieve that. Therefore, it still seems to take time for them to be able to meet their basic needs without worry. Ensuring all of Dunisha’s educational needs is now not easy.
The family faces these key challenges:
- Educational Expenses: Even with the income from abroad, covering the costs of quality education can be a financial strain.
