Case Study of Kabita Chepang

Kabita Chepang grew up in a marginalized Chepang community in a rural village in the Chitwan district of Nepal. She is unable to talk fluently, and has to walk for an hour to reach her school, a commute that is painful and exhausting. She struggles to go to school when she is hungry as there’s nothing to cook due to famine. While her mother spends much of her time in agriculture, her father is unable to work due to undiagnosed physiological problems engendered after the bus accident he had when returning from Kathmandu seven years ago. The harvest her mother brings from the fields feed them for only 6 months. Due to unproductive, un-irrigable and infertile land, subsistence agriculture comes short of an adequate food supply, which eventually leads to famine in her family for the rest of the year. All of her siblings are grown up malnourished. She has a stepmother, 3 elder brothers, a younger sister and an elder sister. Her eldest brother has 2 sons.
