Kathleen's experience in Nepal with Challenges Abroad
Posted On Thursday, June 12, 2025
During January 2025, I spent three weeks in Nepal, on the Challenges Abroad and Future Sense collaboration as a student from Curtin University studying with the Faculty of Business and Law. This experience was centred on teaching Nepalese Women about Financial Literacy over a series of student designed and facilitated workshops that were heavily aligned to the sustainable development goals of Gender Equality and Decent Work and Economic Growth. It was truly once-in-a-lifetime experience that I am grateful taught me much more about Asia and how important sustainability is and how it impacts countries and societies across the globe.
Tanzania: 22 Toilets for 455 Girls! Help Us Raise $13,500 to Build Safe Toilets

Challenges Abroad is proudly sponsoring this project, and we’re calling on our incredible community of young changemakers and alumni to help us make it happen.
