Anupama Chapagain

Program Manager and Community Resource Specialist for CalHope

Anupama is a first-generation Nepali immigrant to the United States of America. She has been living in the San Francisco Bay Area since 2005. Being an immigrant herself, she is aware of the obstacles that many migrants have to go through, such as lingual and cultural barriers which are the most prominent barriers for the members of these communities and Anupama specializes in finding resources for community members who are adversely affected by these barriers.

She has been working and advocating closely with many non-profit, city, county and state programs for immigrants in the San Francisco Bay Area to provide resources for equal rights and opportunities for access to quality healthcare, legal assistance, domestic violence issues, mental health, education, and economic growth for the immigrant community as well as the capacity building of the immigrant community as a whole. She strongly believes that strengthening community members by engaging them in their areas of interest and creating opportunities for them to thrive, will improve their mental health and their ability to contribute to society positively.
