Niruta passed her final year and her license exams and is now nurse! She has worked very hard over the last three years and this is an amazing achievement! She will now look to gain employment in a rural area so she can start her journey as a fully qualified practitioner serving remote communities in Nepal.

Due to Covid-19 Niruta has not been able to study at KAHS for the past 8 months as the college is closed.  However, she has tried her best to keep studying from home.  The wi-fi signal is very poor in the remote areas of Nepal, so it’s been very hard for her to access any online teaching.

Here is a short videos that Niruta has made from Jumla outside her college:
