Krishna Jogi

Krishna Jogi, a first-year BBS student from Udayapur, currently resides in Triyuga Municipality. From a young age, Krishna has been deeply passionate about education and building a better future for herself and her family. Despite facing numerous challenges, she has remained determined to pursue her dreams.

Born into a financially struggling family of nine, Krishna grew up in a household where hardships were an everyday reality. Her father works as a laborer to support the family, while her mother suffers from high blood pressure, which requires ongoing medical attention. These financial burdens forced two of her sisters to discontinue their education. However, Krishna was committed to learn, and to improve her family’s circumstances.

Her educational journey began at a government school, where limited resources often meant she couldn’t afford basic necessities such as stationery, books, or even food at times. Yet her dedication caught the attention of her teachers, who supported her financially and encouraged her to continue. Krishna completed her education till grade 12 with the support of scholarships and generous mentors.

The challenges she faced went beyond material scarcity. Her family endured neglect and discrimination from society due to their poverty, an experience that left emotional scars but also strengthened her resolve. When her mother’s health deteriorated, requiring treatment in Kathmandu, the family struggled to manage the expenses. Instead of receiving sympathy, Krishna often faced negative remarks from those around her. These experiences have fueled her determination to rise above them and earn the respect of the very society that once rejected her and her family. In addition to that, she is actively looking for a part-time job, to contribute to her family’s expenses. 

Today, she is pursuing her bachelor’s degree with the support of U Go Nepal’s scholarship. This opportunity is a pivotal moment in her journey, bringing her closer to her aspirations of uplifting her family and helping others in similar circumstances. Her ultimate dream is to become an educational officer, contributing to the improvement of Nepal’s education system and ensuring that others have the opportunities she fought so hard to secure.
