Meet our Alumni!

Tsering Wongdi Sherpa, SSN alumnus and CEO of Namlo Technologies shared his own journey with his juniors on November 29, 2025:

“I grew up in Taktor, Solukhumbu — a small village, simple life, strong values, but far from the world of technology. SSN supported me with hostel stay and SEE prep, and that support gave me a confidence I didn’t know I had at the time. After SEE, I moved to Kathmandu, SSN supported me again throughout my academic journey-completed +2 Science, and then BIT at Herald College. Those years were long nights of coding, researching, and building small projects, and every little effort added up.

I started at Bajra Technologies, freelanced alongside, and eventually co-founded Namlo Technologies with my friend. Today, we are 11 people strong, working in SaaS, EdTech, Tourism Tech, and AI.

My story began in the hills of Taktor, far from the world of technology. But dreams grow wherever you water them — and so will yours. Start building your future today."

Tsering also shared insights about the Nepalese IT sector, including the steps required to enter the industry, the realities of working in it, salary ranges, types of roles available, and the skills needed to succeed.

We are so proud of him and sincerely thank Tsering for taking the time to share his journey with his juniors, as well as for fostering a strong sense of camaraderie within the fellowship program. We wish him all the very best in his journey ahead!

“I come from the Thami community of Bhakanje, Solukhumbu, where financial hardship and limited opportunities made education a distant dream. My parents never had the chance to go to school due to poverty and harsh living conditions, yet they always supported my wish to study. When I received a scholarship and joined the Stay at School Fellowship program, it gave me the opportunity to pursue higher education—something that once felt impossible.

I have been able to pursue an education I had never even dreamed of before. I feel as though I am walking on a journey from darkness toward light.

My parents believe that education is the key to progress. They often say that as society develops, we too must learn and adapt. Their dream is for me to complete my studies and use my knowledge to uplift our village and support others from marginalized communities like ours.

In the past, life in our community centered around herding and manual labor. Children often walked hours each day to reach school, facing fear and darkness on their way home. Today, with better access to education and programs like the Fellowship, students like me can dream bigger and build brighter futures.

My parents encouraged me not to remain only a herder, but to move forward with time, learn new skills, and make progress. Education has opened my mind and helped me see the world with a wider perspective. I feel proud to be among the few from my community who have reached this level, and I hope to inspire others to do the same.

My parents dream of seeing me become a successful bank manager one day—and I am determined to study hard and make that dream a reality."

Shyam Bahadur Thami is an SSN fellow and currently pursuing a Bachelor of Commerce degree at Solukhumbu Multiple Campus. He has recently completed his internship at Machhapuchchhre Bank, Salleri Branch.

Under the SSN Fellowship Career Readiness Project, Shyam has embarked on an important milestone—gaining hands-on experience, strengthening his confidence, and applying his learning in a professional setting. We wish him continued success in achieving his dream of becoming a banker.

August months’ career talk featured Ms. Rojee Maharjan, Head of Curriculum, Collaborative School Network(CSN), who shared her inspiring journey in education sector.
From starting out as a school teacher, growing into school leader, taking on responsibilities as a school manager, and now serving as the Head of Curriculum, her story is a true example of passion, perseverance, purpose in the field of education.
Her reflections reminded us that every step in the journey shapes who we become - and that leadership is built on experience, learning and dedication. She also helped our fellows learn about self strength, weakness, opportunities and threats (SWOT) for their own career growth.
We are grateful for her insights!
Here are a few glimpses from her session at SSN on August 30, 2025.
