In this episode, we have Kusum Tamang Poudyal from Nepal to share her lived experience as an incredible community worker and humanitarian. 

Kusum has an avid passion to serve the community that are marginalised and/or less empowered. She has been involved in the social sector since 13 years ago in Australia, India and Nepal. Having worked in the community sector for years, she firmly believes in building sustainable yet simple mechanisms of empowering communities and putting education as the priority to mitigate most social challenges. 

Kusum holds a degree in Community Welfare Work and Buddhist Theology and is currently undertaking an MBA degree. She now heads Hiteri Foundation which is Nepal’s first non-profit crowdfunding platform and an emerging crisis management organisation working in training civil society organisations on communication, capacity building and fundraising. She is also a founding member of Timro Surakshya Hamro Kartabya (TSHK) and a general member of Hattihatti Nepal. In her free time, Kusum loves to volunteer for different causes, travel, read, decorate with plants, and spend time with her family and two dogs.
