• RudraMan Scholarship Fund:

Menuka Karki is the daughter of Rudra Bahadur Karki and Man Kumari Karki, who are the resident of Hawa VDC Dolakha (currently living in Kathmandu). Even though Menuka has not visited Hawa for a long time, she has strong feelings for this place because this place is where her father and mother lived long time back with hardships. She does not recall much about this place but she knows that it’s a rural village and has many children, especially girls that are affected by war and are considered untouchable and hence are not being able to go to school even if they had strong desire to get education. In order to break this superstitious trend and to allow these children to get good education, Menuka initiated herself to establish a fund for these children and named it “RudraMan Scholarship Fund” to honor her mother and father for their enormous effort to provide her education to the level she wants. As for now she will only be able to help few children but she assures to help more children in this village and most probably other districts of Nepal too. Menuka believes that those students who receive this benefit (scholarship) will be hard-working, devoted for their education and will be role model for other people around their society and also around that district of Nepal.
