Roshana Thapa

Bio

Roshana Thapa was raised by a strong, single mother in Lalitpur who faced immense personal and financial challenges to give her daughter a better future. Growing up, Roshana witnessed her mother’s relentless sacrifices firsthand, which fueled her deep desire to succeed and make her family proud.
Her educational journey began at Tarapunja Secondary School before she transferred to Bishwamitra Ganesh Public School in the sixth grade. Though she was a dedicated and passionate student with a strong interest in health and community well-being, her family’s precarious financial situation constantly loomed over her academic dreams. The fear of having to cut her education short was a heavy burden to carry.
That turning point came when she was awarded the Samaanta Fellowship. It was an overwhelming moment of hope and relief, lifting the financial strain off her mother’s shoulders. With Samaanta’s support, Roshana completed her higher secondary education at Graded English Medium School (GEMS) in 2014, flourishing into a confident young scholar.
Driven by her passion to help others, she went on to pursue her dream field, graduating with a Bachelor of Pharmacy (B.Pharm) degree from Hope International College. The fellowship gave her more than just financial aid, it gave her the confidence, independence, and resilience to overcome life’s hurdles. Roshana worked as a registered Pharmacist at Accord Pharmaceuticals Limited while preparing for her DHA examinations. Her journey from hardship to achievement stood as a profound testament to her mother's strength and her own unyielding perseverance.
