Animal Welfare Program:

The high-speed urbanization and spread of urban sprawl all over the World has contributed to generation of large amount of solid waste, the management of which has become a challenge for many a nation, especially in the third world countries. These unconfined and unmanaged leftovers aid proliferation of stray dogs that carry several contagious diseases including rabies which is a threat to the human population.
Meanwhile, due to the ongoing Covid pandemic, the street dogs that were mainly fed by human generosity have been deprived due to the lockdowns leaving them sick and hungry and barely surviving on solid waste, again a breeding ground for several diseases.
Management of stray dogs has surfaced as a major challenge to many cities all over. Most of the countries seem to have resorted to the following measures to control the stray dog population.

Capture; Vaccinate; Neuter and Release or Capture and Euthanize.
The stray dog population in Kathmandu Valley alone is estimated at around 30,000 which have become a nuisance to visiting tourists as well as the local populace. As such, a proper welfare program is deemed necessary to control this menace.
K Foundation Global Inc., at the onset of the Covid induced lockdown, has been running a Dog Feeding Program in Kathmandu providing hygienic meal to 250 to 300 dogs on a daily basis. Besides, it also feeds around 200 monkeys in and around temple area and 50/60 cows that are left abandoned on the streets.
However, these are short term measures as a humanitarian gesture and K Foundation Global Inc., has felt that the problem needs to be addressed in a proper and organized manner especially in case of the stray dogs.
As such, K Foundation Global Inc, focuses to establish an Animal Shelter and Rehabilitation Centre in the vicinity of Kathmandu in the near future.

The rescued puppies shall be kept growing in a healthy environment and put up for adoption by animal lovers.
Awareness campaigns shall be carried out through various communication platforms to inform the importance of spaying and neutering the stray dogs to reduce its population.
The program shall be carried out in coordination with local municipalities, communities, and veterinary clinics/hospitals.

Funding

A separate Funding Proposal shall be prepared to raise funds to finance this program.

Implementation

The stray dogs shall be captured and taken to the Rehab Centre in coordination with municipalities/local authorities as and where applicable.
An arrangement shall be made with Veterinary Hospital/Clinic for periodical visits from their Vet Doctors to ensure the wellbeing of the sheltered pets.
Volunteers/Dog Lovers shall be encouraged to visit the Rehab Centre for their contributions.

Education, School Assistance and Financial Literacy:

Nepal, a nation sandwiched between China and India is a mountainous country with many of the rural areas situated in the lap of the Himalayas and mid-mountain region with a very little or no proper road infrastructure. People still have to walk for long hours to find work or to get their daily necessities. Education facility in these areas is very basic and many of the schools lack proper building infrastructures, sanitary facilities, proper drinking water etc., let alone a playground or sports materials. There are also some areas where the school going children have to walk long hours to commute to their schools and back. Although the constitution of Nepal mandates that every citizen shall have the right to get compulsory and free education up to the basic level and free education up to the secondary level from the state, the school dropout is high especially among the girl students owing to lend support to their families in their daily household chores.
Nepal was hit by a devastating earthquake in 2015 which killed nearly 9,000 people and injured more than 22,000 people. Government records show 33,000 classrooms in 7,923 schools in 32 districts across the country were destroyed.
As we are entering to digitalization world our nation Nepal should also adopt the virtual education environment. Specially during pandemic almost all schools, colleges, and universities are providing virtual education. In western countries kids from kindergarten to universities have adopted virtual education environment. This will be the normal norm of education in the new world we will be living post pandemic era. If the public-school kids in Nepal could not experience the virtual education, then they will be left behind for many years in this competitive world. As such, one of the missions of K Foundation Global Inc. is to bring virtual education experience to students in rural area by partnering with other organizations in the United States.

Financial Literacy is one of the most important aspect of personal financial health which has been always neglected by lower middle class and lower-class population around the world. Crime and violence arouse in the community due to the financial crisis. Money management and importance of Time Value Money and investments are never properly taught in schools and universities. As such, lower middle class and lower-class population are still financially struggling. Many millennials’ dreams have just remained as a dream to become an entrepreneur have just remained as a dream due to lack of financial freedom. Some investment vehicles where $1 invested 10 years ago is $1,000 now. Global Economy is still struggling to come out of Corona Virus pandemic recession, so understanding of investment, money management, and time value money are very important economic aspect for new generation who will be living in post pandemic economy. As such, K Foundation Global Inc, will provide a financial literacy virtual education to underprivileged community schools and college students.

Vision Care Program:

“Better Vision for Better Future”

Vision, the most important and dominant out of all our five senses, is critical for human growth for social, education and economic development. Lack of it or its impairment can contribute to multiple complications for one to lead a normal life.
According to the “World Report on Vision” published by World Health Organization in October 2019, there are at least 2.2 billion people that have a vision impairment or blindness worldwide of whom around 1 billion people are living with vision impairment because they do not get the care they need for conditions like near and far sightedness, astigmatism, glaucoma, and cataract which could have been prevented if addressed in timely manner.
Vision impairment occurs when an eye condition affects the visual system and one or more of its visual functions. Vision impairment has serious consequences for the individual throughout their life, many of which, however, can be mitigated by timely access to quality eye care and rehabilitation.
Eye conditions that can cause vision impairment and blindness – such as uncorrected refractive error, glaucoma, cataract et al., are some of the important areas of focus for prevention. However, the importance of eye conditions that do not typically cause vision impairment – such as dry eye and conjunctivitis – must not be overlooked. These conditions are frequently among the leading reasons for presentation to eye health care services in all countries.
The problem tends to be greater in underdeveloped and developing countries among underserved population, such as women, children, indigenous people, people with disabilities, and in rural communities. Population growth and ageing, along with behavioral and lifestyle changes, and urbanization, will dramatically increase the number of people with eye conditions, vision impairment and blindness in the coming decades.
K Foundation Global, with whatever resources we can generate, aims to mitigate some of these issues through our Vision Care Program with a broad outreach by many eye care professionals, as far as possible. The focus of this program shall be to reach to highly deprived and marginalized communities especially in rural areas in underdeveloped and developing countries.

Sports Development Program :

“Students Empowerment through Sports”

The importance of games and sports in student’s life is immense as it has proved to be very helpful in improving stronger social skills, such as dispute management and sports-based interaction. Active participation in sports and games can have many benefits in students’ life as it helps enhance their physical and social skills.

Importance of sports and games is often undermined by the parents as well as the students especially among the low-income groups whose main focus is to make their children concentrate on their education alone with the hope that they would become their bread-earner one day.

In today’s World, students are more vulnerable to various health issues, illness and other such problems owing to lack of physical activities to keep their bodies fit and fine. Further, studies highlight that with constant involvement of students in sports; they tend to increase their immune system and thus are better able to fight against the diseases. The advent of digitization has penetrated everywhere even to the remotest parts of the World where the poorest also seem to invest in mobile phones letting their children have an access to video games rather than participating in physical activities.

Keeping this in mind, K Foundation Global Inc. has adopted Sports Development Program as one of its core activities. The aim of this program is to create conducive environment in schools for students to participate in sports and games for their well-being.
K Foundation Global Inc. believes that Sports and Games are a crucial part of a student’s life to achieve the following:
Improve Physical and Mental Growth;
Empower Students with Life Skills;
Learn Time Management and Discipline;
Improve Leadership and Team Building Qualities; and
Boost Self-confidence.
K Foundation Global Inc. shall undertake the following activities:
Provide Sports Equipment and Materials to recipient schools of “School Assistance Program” as well as other schools in the vicinity to provide collective benefits to the area;
Assist in construction Sports Facilities i.e. Sports Ground, Sports Room etc., as necessary;
Establish Prize and Incentive structure in schools for attracting students to sports and games;
Provide Cash Incentives to schools to subsidize the salary of at least ‘One Sports Trainer’ preschool; where necessary; and
Provide scholarships to deserving ‘Student Sportsmen’ to attend Sports Academy situated at nearby City Center or at Kathmandu.
