BIOGRAPHY OF THE PRESIDENT
Rita Kumari Panta was born in to a middle class family in Sattarijhora village of Sunsari district in eastern Nepal. She found seeds of service early in her childhood from her family, who believed in equality. With widespread prevalent caste discrimination, untouchability and gender inequality she always thought of society free of such social problems.
She received her education at Shree Janta Secondary School in hometown and did high school at Mahendra Morang Adarsa Multiple Campus in Biratnagar. Due to her personal encounter with life's unfortunate circumstances, her desire to pursue further college education took a backseat by financial crisis in the family.
After years of hardship and struggle as a teacher in secondary level and knowing importance of education and striving for the change her dream of opening a non-profit organization finally came true with support from community, family and friends. Now she finds content in helping the needy and has become voice of underprivileged and beacon of hope for marginalized group.
