In 2009, Rupa served as a volunteer at an orphanage in Nepal as a fundraiser for the organization. She soon found out that the orphanage that she thought was helping children was actually abusing children. She realized that the orphanage was trafficking children from vulnerable families and profiting by arranging forged child adoption papers. Rupa played a key role to rescue 20 children from the orphanage who were at risk by putting her own life at risk. Since then, she has been committed to enter the field of child protection.
Rupa’s career in child protection began in 2011, working for a local NGO as a social worker where she was involved in rescuing and reintegrating over 200 children. Rupa worked for Next Generation Nepal in 2019 where she joined the NGN team as Program Operational Manager until 2021. Rupa is an experienced Project Manager with a demonstrated history of working in a non-profit organization.
Rupa has spent hours over the years in determining actual costs for precise budgeting, management and project planning and project implementation. She has a Bachelors Degree in Business Studies focused in Project Management and Human Resource Management.
Rupa leads the FGN team and oversees FGN’s programs, finances including Rescue, Reintegration, Transit Home, Trafficking, Prevention, Advocacy and the Scholarship Project.
Rupa is the main point of contact for FGN who has responsibility for organizational development, strategic planning, project implementation, networking and fundraising for our programs. Rupa deals with government bodies, donors and provides technical support to the program team for the effective implementation of activities.
