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. Kiran Bahadur Khadgi Member Secretary and Director KUMBESHWAR TECHNICAL SCHOOL 3 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. 4 KUMBESHWAR TECHNICAL SCHOOL KTS MISSION Equal opportunities for all KTS VISION • • • • • • Provide free nursery and primary education to local community children from low-income families Improve the standard of literacy and general education amongst the pupils Provide technical education and vocational training to disadvantaged women and young men from low-income families and broaden their access to a wider range of employment opportunities Create and support income-generating programmes that directly benefit low-income groups, especially women, through the sale of KTS Fair Trade products Provide education, welfare and training to orphans and destitute women Empower the local community and other beneficiaries to take greater responsibility for themselves and their future Pre- nursery ( play group) Class Orphans enjoying Tea Break KUMBESHWAR TECHNICAL SCHOOL Students at class room Job opportunities for under privileged Women 5 SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS KTS completed some of the infrastructure improvement works such as constructing improved toilets, green board, solar system - an alternative power for electricity and shelves in the Primary school classrooms with the support of Her Excellency Ms. Susan Grace, Australian Ambassador by DAP fund of AUS AID Similarly with her generous support, the Knitwear design room was developed, with added wool rack and knitwear display cupboard in the knitwear section. 6 KUMBESHWAR TECHNICAL SCHOOL Her Excellency Ms. Susan Grace also supported the addition of new equipment in the carpentry section.

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.

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. Hand Knitting Training Classes KUMBESHWAR TECHNICAL SCHOOL 31 CARPET WEAVING TRAINING EXPENDITURE 258,366 INCOME SPONSOR - - BALANCE - 258,366 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. Carpet Weaving Training 32 KUMBESHWAR TECHNICAL SCHOOL CARPENTRY TRAINING EXPENDITURE INCOME 343,329 - SPONSOR 42,000 BALANCE -301,329 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. Carpentry trainees in theory and practical classes KUMBESHWAR TECHNICAL SCHOOL 33 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. Special custom designed carpet 34 Special custom designed shelve KUMBESHWAR TECHNICAL SCHOOL HAND KNITTING PRODUCTION UNIT EXPENDITURE INCOME BALANCE 55,863,453 + 9,982,619 45,880,834 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.
