FIFA World Cup 2022, for Nepali migrant workers’ families, is a reminder of deaths and sufferings

Bhim Bahadur Lohar, from Madhuwan rural municipality in Bardiya, went to Qatar to work in 2010. There he worked for a construction company tasked to build buildings including one of the eight stadiums that are currently hosting the FIFA World Cup 2022.

Lohar called his wife every day; they talked about his day there and what his family were doing in Nepal. He sent most of what he earnt, Rs 35,000 a month, back home as his family built a house with the money he sent.
