KUMBESHWAR TECHNICAL SCHOOL
DIRECTOR’S LETTER
Beside the regular programme, the management of the Kumbeshwar Technical School has
focussed to improve the environment and standardise the education system within the school.
The renovation of the rooms and addition of furniture including green boards instead of black
boards, construction of comfortable hygienic toilets, establishment of the library and the computer
room and change of old text books to new ones have created good atmosphere within the school.
Similarly, on the vocational training sector, the school is providing skills in depth as needed for
producing quality products. After completion of training, trainees can join our organisation and
get job if they wish so. The member producers in production units receive detailed information
about the products they have to produce. They are also communicated about the national and
international market trend and customer choices. Work place in the school is made comfortable,
maintained transparency and supported to them to strengthen their social and economic status
in the society. In this year, the knitwear production unit has undertaken trial production of some
items by installing hand- made wooden loom.
We have carried out all annual programme smoothly. We are highly obliged to all of you for
extending us valuable support in achieving the set target and marching ahead toward further
progress of the organisation.
Thank you.

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, followed by 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 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 and WFTO Asia, KTS
strongly believes in Fair Trade practices and is committed to 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, which 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 a 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 a home, education and vocational 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 to working with its producers to create Fair
Trade products.

The management is continuously making an effort to improve the quality of education in the Nursery and
Primary School, and has introduced a better course / work book, fixed alternative solar power electricity,
renovated class rooms, kitchen, toilets, washing room etc.
The library, computer and visual classes have become more attractive to the students and become part of
the daily routine. In the library, teachers focus on storybooks, English language conversations and teaching
through audio visual materials. The library is also helpful to teachers in preparing teaching materials.
There are currently 214 students in the school to whom school provides free nutritious food to 141 students
in the pre-nursery, nursery and kindergarten classes once a day and provides additional food to 83 children
in pre-nursery and nursery classes. In the primary school, 26 percent of the pupils are from the local street
sweeper community and the remainder are from local and migrated poor families from remote areas. The
School continues to provide quality education with necessary materials free of cost to all children. The
school reopened on 1st February after a month’s winter holiday.
It is a pleasure to mention that the Library now has 1607 children’s books. All the books are simple but
informative, stimulating and helpful for students. They also assist us in providing quality education for them.
KTS gives importance to extra-curricular activities for students’ physical, mental and social development.
The extra-curricular activities have encouraged the children to attend classes regularly. They find the
library, computer class, cultural events, quiz contests and spelling competitions interesting and stimulating
their desire to learn. These activities endorse the KTS belief that there should be equal opportunities for all,
regardless of their background.
People Tree/Global Village Japan has partially sponsored the KTS educational programme. The Friends
of Kumbeshwar Kids membership and sponsorship covered 15% of expenses and the remaining 85% was
covered by sales revenue from knitwear and carpet products.

EXTRA CURRICULAR ACTIVITIES
The students take advantage of the extra-curricular activities. The cultural programme is one of
the most favoured areas for the students. These activities are very helpful to boost their career
development, reduce any inferiority complex and promote self-confidence among the low caste
children. This year several activities took place. Some pictures are given below:

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 enough knowledge about production, quality, marketing
and business management. Some traders exploit producers and they becoming poorer. As such,
the young generation can be – and often is discouraged by the prospect of continuing to work
in the traditional family occupation and seeks a different career. However, the employment
market is becoming more competitive, especially for low-educated and underprivileged people.
Vocational training is also becoming more expensive and marginalized people cannot afford it.
KTS supports people from uneducated and low caste background families including physically
disabled or destitute women. KTS provides vocational training to such people offering them
practical and marketable/self-employment jobs 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 is developing programmes for providing rooms to stay during their
training. These programmes are helping to improve the quality of life for people in rural areas
of Nepal.
All KTS training courses are run in line with Fair Trade practices and all products comply with
Fair Trade standards.

The hand knitting is going smoothly. Management has focused on providing training to women
also having leisure time after household work. The training hours are fixed at 11.30 a.m. to 13.30
p.m. This time is mostly convenient to those groups. The training is one of the best skills for poor
and illiterate people, especially women and physically challenged people. 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 opportunities to any trainee who shows real aptitude, offering work 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 to work full-time in the future.
This year, 40 trainees completed the training out of 42 and 25 graduates joined the hand-knitting
production unit.

The short-term four months carpet weaving practical course has been an attraction to poor and
low educated migrated women and girls. The trainees can gain benefit quickly from the skills
they learn. The training is also very useful for underprivileged people as it quickly enables them
to earn a living. KTS gives each trainee an allowance of NPR40 per day and offers a day-care
centre for his or her young children. Older children are offered free education at the KTS primary
school. More than 90% of KTS graduates are employed in the carpet weaving industries.
This year, four trainees completed the training and joined the production unit.

Carpentry is one of the most appropriate practical skill-training for low educated poor
underprivileged people. KTS runs a two-year course, providing 20% theory and 80% practical
training. Each trainee is given an allowance of NPR50 per day to partially subsidise their living
costs, as the family may not be able to afford to support him/her fully while they are on training.
During the training period, students learn how to make different types of furniture. The students
can sit the carpentry Level 2 skills exam of the Nepal Government’s Centre for Technical
Education and Vocational Training (CTEVT). All the graduates who wish to work can get a job,
become independent and establish a livelihood from the skills they have learnt at KTS.
Local underprivileged boys and rescued boys of the streets from the Shangrila Home in
Kathmandu are in the Carpentry training. The minimum qualification of the trainees is grade
five and they must be at least 15 year old.
This year, three trainees in the second year and five trainees in the first year completed the
training.

PRODUCTION UNITS
At present, KTS has over 2113 producers
benefiting over 1033 families and 79
local community members. We provide
job opportunities for graduates of the
vocational training programmes which,
in return, enable the organisation to
be self-sustained by producing KTS
products . KTS is a founder member of
Fair Trade Group Nepal (FTGN). This
organisation is helping its members
create an opportunity to promote their
products through capacity building
and propagating advocacy, publicity,
marketing and buyer introductions. We sell our Fair Trade products throughout the world and
are proud to be at the forefront of Fair
Trade business in Nepal.
Working with its own designers, buyers’
designers and individual illustrators
from overseas, KTS is endeavouring
constantly to create new and up-todate products, which also reflect the
culture and heritage of Nepal. KTS
launches feedback and quality control
programmes in conjunction with all its
buyers so as to ensure the quality of its
products meet the required standard. The
close working relationship KTS has with
all its buyers is of enormous importance
to the organization.

The hand knitting production is going smoothly under home-based producers. For the
identification of producers and producers’ assistants working for KTS and to advocate KTS
objectives and WFTO norms about Fair Trade, we organized a producers meeting in the core
area of producers living in “Bhaktapur”, “Banepa”, Kirtipur”, Lubhu”, “Thecho”, “Teku” and
school premises.
In the meeting, 1284 producers and their assistants registered and found 447 additional new
producers. There are 2100 producers. Out of that there are 121 direct, 24 group leaders, 538
producers under group leaders and 1417 assistants. Among the producers 2096 are women and
1 man, physically challenged 2 women and 1 man involved in production. Also 15 people are
engaged in transporting the raw materials to producers and collecting the finished products from
them.
In Nepal there is still a joint family system. If we calculate beneficiaries from 2100 producers and
assistants, nearly 10,500 “grass roots” people are receiving benefit from KTS income generating
programme.
Quality control is a big challenge to us involving yarn to finished product. Regarding directing
and counselling of yarn suppliers and spinning groups, the management is applying a different
KUMBESHWAR TECHNICAL SCHOOL
35
methodology in monitoring skill training, interaction, thorough checking one by one and
receiving feedback. The majority of jobs are done by home based members and producers. The
marketing and quality of knitwear is highly important to the organisation. All the jobs are very
sensitive and need extra care to maintain the necessary high standard required. However, it is
a pleasure to us that the quality of our production is meeting international standard and is able
to help alleviate poverty and illiteracy in Nepal and also create awareness about the Fair Trade.
This year, sales revenue increased by 18% compared to last year sales. The surplus amount is
being spent on social activities of KTS.
