Rajendra Paudel (RP. Srijan) is a returnee migrant worker from Saudi Arabia and the UAE, where he lived for over 8 years. Based in Nepal, he works to provide aspiring and current migrant workers with information and training on personal finance, career development, and business planning and development.
However, he is currently in the UAE to educate current migrant workers by expanding content on a mobile application he has already built. He creates content on YouTube, Facebook, TikTok, and other social media platforms, amassing over 800K followers. His content covers financial literacy, digital literacy, and fraud alerts.
Top Goal
My top goals over the next 6 months are to conduct two in-person training sessions, reach 1 million followers across social media platforms, and expand content on the mobile application by adding new features.

This July, we embarked on an exciting challenge: #30Days30Videos3Countries. We traveled across Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, and Qatar to create 30 impactful videos. Our focus was diverse, covering topics like labor laws, country-specific information, and the current situations of migrant workers. We also explored government facilities, rules, and regulations that affect migrant workers.
During our visits, we had the opportunity to meet with worker friends to discuss crucial issues such as financial literacy and digital fraud awareness. These interactions have been enlightening and will further enrich the content of our videos.
We have recorded all these interactions and insights, and we're excited to announce that the videos will be uploaded in August. Stay tuned to our social media channels to catch these updates and gain valuable knowledge that can empower you as a migrant worker.
