"SUPPORT
OUR KAMIS"
It
is our great delight to declare that Khukuri House
is not only a commercial company but also a social
welfare organization with a very noble cause”
“Support Our Kamis”
is a program that Khukuri House has undertaken
to uplift the living standard of the Kamis. It
aims to provide them with the basic needs that
they have no access to. However, it is an enormous
task, and Khukuri House alone cannot support the
Kamis and work for the betterment of their status.
But by working hand in hand and combining our
efforts, we can make a difference in providing
them a chance for a better and prosperous future.
The Kamis are a minority community
of Nepal. They are often neglected and ostracized
by Nepalese society because they are considered
to be among the so-called lowest castes. Despite
their friendly behavior and artistic skills, they
have been victims for generations because of traditional
myths and blind faith. They certainly do not deserve
this kind of treatment. They also have a right
and freedom to live their lives to the fullest
like any citizen of the country. The future generations
of Kamis must have an opportunity to reach out
beyond their world and make a decent living.
The Kamis are the ones who make
the khukuris that you admire and treasure. They
put so much effort into creating these works or
art. By helping the artisans, you add more meaning
and value to their creations. Khukuri House is
working to provide them opportunities to obtain
basic education, medicines, health services, resources,
retirement benefits and so on. We seek your support
and understanding in this endeavor. Let us unite
and fight to remove the barriers and hardships
that the Kamis have been enduring and give them
a chance to better their lives. You can make a
very great difference in helping to change their
lives.
Khukuri House also promises that
any fund or donation WILL
NOT BE MISUSED. All the money collected
within the month will be invested in the “Support
Our Kamis” fund and spent for their
benefit. Khukuri House will keep all donors and
visitors to the link “Developments”
updated regarding the utilization and results
of the funds collected monthly.
As a small token of appreciation
of your generosity and consideration, we will
mention your name on our web site. It will also
be inscribed on the special silver plaque to honor
donors which is displayed at our two showrooms
in Kathmandu. However, if you think it is a loss
of privacy and don’t want your name listed,
please advise us when making the donation.
We look forward to your support
in this significant effort that we have started.
Let us work together and create a platform from
where the Kamis can spread their wings and fly
high. Together, we can and will make a difference.
