“Every child deserves the opportunity to dream. With the right support, those dreams can become reality.”
In 2013, Saroj Thapa became part of the MySmallHelp Educational Sponsorship Programme. Like many children from economically disadvantaged families in Nepal, he faced significant financial challenges that threatened his education and future.
Despite these obstacles, Saroj possessed something invaluable—a determination to learn, a strong work ethic, and the ambition to build a better life.
Recognising his potential, MySmallHelp and its generous sponsors committed to supporting his education, believing that investing in one child’s future could create a lifetime of opportunities.
A Journey Built on Determination
Education became the foundation of Saroj’s future.
Throughout his school years, he remained dedicated to his studies, making the most of every opportunity provided through the sponsorship programme. His perseverance and commitment enabled him to successfully complete his secondary and higher secondary education, preparing him for even greater challenges ahead.
As his interest in technology grew, Saroj set his sights on pursuing higher education in Information Technology—a dream that once seemed beyond his reach.
Pursuing His Dreams in Australia
Determined to continue learning, Saroj moved to Australia to further his education.
There, he successfully completed his Bachelor’s Degree in Information Technology (IT), gaining the technical knowledge and practical skills needed for a career in one of the world’s fastest-growing industries.
Today, Saroj is working professionally in Australia, applying his education and experience while building a successful future for himself.
His achievements are the result of years of perseverance, dedication, and the unwavering support of those who believed in his potential.
The Power of Long-Term Educational Support
Saroj’s story perfectly illustrates the long-term impact of educational sponsorship.
What began in 2013 as support for a young student has grown into a life-changing journey spanning more than a decade. Through education, Saroj has gained confidence, independence, and the ability to create opportunities that will benefit not only himself but also his family and future generations.
His journey reminds us that educational sponsorship is not simply about helping a child stay in school—it is about unlocking potential, opening doors, and empowering young people to achieve goals they once thought impossible.
Looking Ahead
Today, Saroj stands as an inspiration to the children currently supported by MySmallHelp. His story demonstrates that with determination, hard work, and the kindness of generous sponsors, dreams can become reality.
Everyone at MySmallHelp is incredibly proud of how far Saroj has come. We look forward to seeing him continue to grow professionally and personally, knowing that his success will inspire many more young people to believe in the power of education.
To every sponsor who has supported Saroj’s journey since 2013—thank you. Your generosity has done more than fund an education; it has helped transform a life.
Together, we continue to build brighter futures—one child at a time.
