Nepal Workers: Weak Won Means 11,000 NPR LESS (What to Do)

नेपाली दाजुभाइ दिदीबहिनीहरू! (Nepali brothers and sisters!)

The Korean won just hit 1519 per dollar. This is bad news for the Nepal remittance exchange rate.

Your family receives LESS money, not more. Let me show you the real numbers and what to do—especially with Dashain coming.

📌 Quick Answer: At 1519 rate, sending ₩1,000,000 gives your family only 87,500 NPR. At strong won (1350), they would get 98,550 NPR. That's 11,050 NPR LESS—almost a week's expenses for a family.

📞 What to Tell Your Family

Share this with your family in Nepali:

Message to send:

"भाइ/बहिनी, अहिले कोरियन वोन कमजोर छ (1519)। त्यसैले पठाउने पैसा अलि कम हुन्छ—प्रति 10 लाख वोनमा लगभग 11 हजार रुपैयाँ कम। यो अस्थायी हो, 4-6 महिनामा सुध्रिन सक्छ। म चाहिने पैसा पठाउँछु, बाँकी बचत गर्छु र राम्रो rate आएपछि थप पठाउँछु। दशैंको लागि चाहिने सबै पठाउँछु।"

Translation: "The Korean won is weak (1519). So remittance will be less—about 11,000 rupees less per 1 million won. This is temporary, may improve in 4-6 months. I'll send what's needed, save the rest, and send more when rates improve. I'll send everything needed for Dashain."
