Unemployed, Raju Parajuli thought a cleaner job in Dubai in exchange for Rs125,000 was not that bad of an offer. After borrowing the amount from a local moneylender at an annual interest rate of 12 percent, Parajuli from Chautara Sangachowkgadhi Municipality, Sindhupalchowk decided to try his luck abroad.

“There are no jobs here in Nepal, as we all know,” said Parajuli. “Being educated is not enough to feed your family. At one point you have to earn money as well. I also tried going abroad.”

With the hope of repaying loans and making good money, Parajuli flew on December 26, 2019, to Dubai through the Basundhara-based recruiting agency—MB Human Resources Pvt Ltd.
