Daya Laxmi Duwal taught at Shree Setidevi Basic School, Tripurasundari RM-01, Chokati, Sindhupalchowk.

Daya was born in Chochhen, Bhaktapur, a city known for its vibrant Jatras, festivals, and its rich cultural heritage, including iconic sites like the Fifty-Five Windows Palace, Golden Gate, and the Five-Storied Temple. Bhaktapur is also famous for its delicious food, especially the traditional curd (Ju: Ju dhau).

Throughout her school and college years, Daya was an obedient and punctual student. In 2018, she was awarded the "Best Volunteer of the Year" by a youth organization for her outstanding contributions in helping children in rural Nepal. She also worked with the International Citizen Service (ICS) in Lamjung, partnering with London Volunteers (UK), where she focused on improving education infrastructure for students in rural areas.

Daya joined the Saathi Teachers Programme in 2022 to further explore her talents and contribute to the education of rural students. She has always wanted to give back to children and the community, using her learning and experience to teach and grow with them.

She is committed to dedicating herself fully to the two-year journey as a Saathi Teacher, giving her best to both her students and the community. Daya is grateful for the opportunity provided by the Saathi Teachers Programme and looks forward to the challenges and experiences that will help her grow into a stronger individual.
