DIRECTOR’S LETTER
Kumbeshwar Technical School is operating under the motto of “Equal Opportunities for
All”. It is working for the social and economic improvement of under-privileged people
by offering a broad education, vocational training and income generation programme.
Children, widows, destitute women and physically challenged people all receive benefit
from the KTS programme. The training that we offer enables the trainees after graduation
to obtain employment. The School has three production units - hand knitwear, carpet
weaving and carpentry - which also offer employment to those graduates. We are also
running an orphanage for 20 boys and girls up to school-leaving age.
KTS is working to provide better education and training through the use of new
methodology like an audio visual system, new computers and a library in the nursery and
primary school. These have not only helped in improving the quality of education offered
to our students but also stimulated their interest to learn and improve their knowledge.
We depend on the sales of KTS products to provide funds to operate all our activities.
However, these funds are insufficient to cover all the expenses and we must rely on
friends, well-wishers and members to carry on our work.
The School is growing day by day with the support of national and international friends
and well-wishers. The new School building has provided much-needed space for
management staff, a knitwear quality control room, a large show room and an auditorium
for School functions. However, there is still lack of space for wool winding and storing
raw materials.
We are very proud to say that all income-generating programme are running smoothly.
With the hard work of all the staff and producers, KTS has been able to dispatch shipments
on time despite the current challenging situation in Nepal.
We would like to express our sincere gratitude to all the Executive Committee members
for their excellent guidances and to our staff for their very hard team work.
We would like to express our sincere
appreciation to all KTS well-wishers,
friends and Kumbeshwar Kids members
for their invaluable help. Our thanks
and appreciations also go to our valued
buyers for their enduring support in
promoting KTS products in the national
and international markets.

ABOUT KTS
Established in 1983 by former State Council Member, Mr Siddhi Bahadur Khadgi, Kumbeshwar
Technical School (KTS) is an educational and vocational training centre supporting the needs
of low-income families throughout Nepal. As a non-profit making Fair Trade NGO, KTS
believes that “equal opportunities for all” is a fundamental human right.
KTS was initially established to assist the local Pode community of street sweepers because,
as a caste of untouchables, these people had been denied education and employment
opportunities. The rest of society shunned them and it was virtually impossible to break free
from the traditional caste occupations of street sweepers, butchers and small farmers. Kabindra
Khadgi, the youngest son of the Founder Chairman, implemented the first KTS programme in
1983. A childcare project for street cleaning workers was established, carried on adult literacy
classes and a nutrition and health clinic including an immunisation programme.
In 1984, KTS opened a primary school and introduced a carpet weaving training programme
for adults. The KTS organisation today encompasses a free nursery and primary school for
250 children and offers welfare and education for up to 20 orphan/semi-orphan children in
the KTS orphanage. KTS provides vocational training for poor women and young men in
carpet weaving, hand knitting and carpentry.
As a founder member of Fair Trade Group Nepal and a member of WFTO Global and
WFTO Asia, KTS strongly believes in Fair Trade practices and is committed in working with
its producers to create Fair Trade products. KTS supports Fair Trade income-generating
programmes for its producers through the sale of high-quality Fair Trade carpets, knitwear
and furniture, the proceeds from which create fund and sustain the KTS activities. KTS also
runs a day-care centre for the children of trainees, producers and staff free of cost.
KTS is managed by a seven-member Executive Committee, which makes all the policy
decisions relating to the organisation. The Director of KTS has overall responsibility for
policy implementation. The KTS administrative team manages the organisation’s day-to-day
running. The KTS primary school teachers’ committee bears responsibility for the Nursery
and Primary School. The administration staff and the vocational teachers’ committee oversee
the Vocational School.
WHAT WE DO
KTS offers key opportunities to create a secure future. Local children from low-income families
learn vital literacy skills and receive a broad education in the KTS Nursery and Primary
School. Vocational training in carpet weaving, hand knitting and carpentry opens access to
a wide range of employment opportunities. KTS assists in the creation of income-generating
programmes that directly benefit low-income groups and, in particular, women and the
physically disabled. Orphans and destitute women are offered accommodation, education
and training. KTS also works to empower the local community and the wider population
to take responsibility for themselves and their future. As a founder member of Fair Trade
Group Nepal and a member of WFTO Global and WFTO Asia as well as a member of Nepal
RugMark Foundation, KTS strongly believes in Fair Trade practices and is committed in
working with its producers to create Fair Trade products.

KTS is trying to collect simple but knowledgeable books for students to stimulate their
interest in reading and to help provide good education for them. KTS is also focusing

VOCATIONAL TRAINING
Nepal is a country of culture, art and craftsmanship. People learn traditional skills from
their families thereby passing on the cultural heritage of the country from generation to
generation. However, people may not always have sufficient knowledge of products,
quality, market trend and business management. Some traders exploit producers and
who then becoming poorer. As a result, the young generation are often discouraged
by the prospect of continuing to work in the traditional family occupations and seek
new careers. However, the job market is becoming more competitive, specially for
low-educated and underprivileged people. Vocational training is also becoming more
expensive which marginalised people can ill-afford.
KTS supports people from uneducated and low caste background including physically
disabled and destitute women. KTS provides vocational training to such people
befitting them in practical and marketable self-employment in three areas i.e., carpet
weaving, hand knitting and carpentry. As many potential trainees from the countryside
cannot afford the city’s high accommodation costs, KTS has arranged provision for
accommodation to them. These programmes are also helping to improve the quality
of life for people in the rural areas of Nepal.
All KTS training courses are run in line with Fair Trade practices and all products
comply with Fair Trade standards.

and the physically disabled. The training is for two hours a day, five days a week,
over three months. Amateur knitters can also join the course to upgrade their skills.
Different styles of knitting are taught based on knitwear designs. During the training
period, KTS provides all stationery materials and wool free of charge.
KTS provides opportunity to trainees who show real aptitude for the work offering
them the chance to produce smaller items such as socks, gloves and scarves for which
KTS pays wages as paid to other professionals.
After training, KTS offers job opportunity to all graduates who are interested to
work for KTS. It encourages trainees to complete the training and gain experience
and confidence to work full-time in the future.

elsewhere. KTS runs a two-year course of 20% theory and 80% practical training.
Each trainee is given an allowance of NPR50 per day to partially subsidise the living
costs, as the family may be unable to financially support him/her fully while they
are on the training. During the course, students learn how to make different types
of furniture. The students can, if they wish, appear in the carpentry Level 2 skills
exam of the Centre for Technical Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT), Nepal
Government. More than 90% of our graduates are earning livelihood from the skills
they have learnt from KTS.
KTS is providing carpentry training to aged 15 or above and also extending training
services for the rescued children from child labour from carpet weaving industries
and rehabilitated street boys by the Shangrila Home in Kathmandu,
