Greetings to everyone. Jaimashi. My name is Komal Badi.

My home is Kailali, Far Western Nepal.

I have three sisters. I come from the Badi community, and when I talk about my community, there are many negative activities, social problems, and challenges. It is also a very marginalized and underdeveloped community of Nepal.

I have been raised by my maternal uncle since I was very young.

I am currently staying at Silent Partner Hostel. The hostel has become safe for me. Silent Partner Hostel has helped me a lot and supported me in my studies.

I have come here to build a future.

I would like to thank everyone who has supported and helped me.
