Menuka Thapa’s dream of becoming a singer might have actually helped her to be the woman she is today.
At 29, Thapa has come a long way: Established a non-profit organization, Raksha Nepal, for the protection of women, two women’s school with 300 students, a woman’s shelter, an orphanage, a cooperative, and a polyclinic. And though her struggles have been masked by her success today, she said it would not have had been possible if it were not for those hardships.
