“Throughout the duration of my 3 month internship with CLEAN UP NEPAL, the most meaningful experience of my university internship is the learning of change and education and how it occurs. The representation of change and leadership as being most meaningful arose from my supervisor Rabindra and his individual perspective on leadership and its definition. I have enriched my knowledge and understanding of what a leader is and needs to be in order for change to occur. The most important factor being the need to want positive change to occur, not for individual benefit but for overall and collective benefit. Having learned this through example and best practice set out by Rabindra. Throughout the three months I have worked with CLEAN UP NEPAL, Rabindra has constantly inspired me to achieve my potential and been the role model I have been looking for in commencing my career. His passion towards enhancing the environment and helping the community was undeniable in his relentless effort towards initiating and implementing change through programs and collective community events we hosted. Rabindra was an excellent supervisor, he provided plenty of feedback and encouragement throughout the projects I was given. This enabled me to pursue constructing and implementing my own project proposal for the organisation to implement in the future. Within the three months I undertook countless projects, each diverse in their own way; grant proposal writing, advocacy within communities, communications and education, as well as analysis of research and existing data, community events and planning to name a few. There were several other projects undertaken throughout my internship, however it is vital to note that all of these projects enabled me to develop diverse and necessary skills for the humanitarian sector. Rabindra was so welcoming throughout the entire internship, his warm bubbly personality and the exceptional respect he portrayed to all of his coworkers was so admirable. I cannot recommend Rabindra enough for future university students and/or volunteering opportunities. I am beyond grateful for the life-changing opportunity in interning with Rabindra and CLEAN UP NEPAL, I will forever be grateful and implement the amazing skills and values I learnt while working alongside Rabindra.

About
With over 17 years of experience in social development, I have led impactful initiatives in environmental resilience, particularly in Nepal's post-earthquake reconstruction efforts. Spearheading projects in Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH), Waste Management, and Environmental Sanitation, I have working experience at national and international levels. Notably, I played a pivotal role in Nepal's recovery, ensuring durable solutions for displaced households and advocating for marginalized communities.
I have drafted comprehensive WASH plans and waste management policies, driving sustainable practices. My expertise in project management and team leadership has fostered organizational development, while my unwavering commitment to environmental stewardship continues to catalyze positive change. I have extensive experience in developing proposals, conducting research, and analyzing both qualitative and quantitative reports using SPSS tools. Additionally, I have conducted waste audits and brand audits, utilizing the results to advocate for evidence-based approaches in promoting the impactful presence of industries toward achieving zero carbon emissions.
I have also led the development of Safa Nepal, an award-winning open-data waste management platform recognized by the World Summit Award. It has been selected as one of the 40 WSA Winners 2023, selected from 466 nominations in 88 countries. This innovative system includes a web-based dashboard and mobile application, empowering local governments to undertake evidence-based analysis and enabling citizens to report waste-related issues.
Furthermore, I have revitalized the concept of Zero Waste at Schools (ZWAS), establishing waste monitoring standards and fostering eco clubs within schools. Through educational seven sessions, clean-up events, and community engagement, ZWAS strengthens waste management systems and promotes sustainability at both school and community levels.
Additionally, I have been an active participant in international networks through CLEAN UP NEPAL, furthering collaboration, and knowledge exchange in the environmental sector. Overall, my multifaceted experience and dedication to environmental causes have left a lasting imprint on sustainable development efforts, driving positive change across diverse landscapes.
