From migrant worker to a voice
for 1.2 million.

I spent eight years working in Saudi Arabia and the UAE. Today I teach the financial literacy, digital skills and fraud awareness I wish someone had taught me — to Nepali workers across the Gulf, Malaysia and back home.

My story

Eight years abroad
changed everything.

“म मजदुर थिएँ — अब म मजदुरहरूको लागि काम गर्छु।” “I was a labourer. Now I work for labourers.”

Born in Syangja, Nepal, I spent more than eight years as a migrant worker in Saudi Arabia and the UAE — learning firsthand the financial pressure, exploitation and isolation that millions of Nepali workers live with every day.

That experience became the work. In 2018 I founded Way To Success to provide the knowledge, tools and community I never had. Today we are an 18-person organisation operating across Nepal and the UAE, and the training has reached workers in Qatar, Kuwait, Saudi Arabia and Malaysia.
