Ambition
In 5 years (2008-2012) we want to achieve
- 5-10 percent reduction in the rate of birth defects.
- 30-40 percent reduction in the rate of children developing a disability through illnesses, malnourishment, accidents or infections.
- 50.000 people having sustainable access to better health care services.
- achieve a better life for 500 children with a disability and their families through access to education, access to health services, physiotherapy, financial support and community life.
- a proven successful, sustainable and replicable model (effective health care system with socio-economic empowerment of the marginalized and disabled people), which can be implemented in Nepal and in other countries.
Karuna Foundation aims to multiply the impact of its activities through
- mobilizing local resources and as a result embed locally the development process.
- increasing participation of the Nepalese authorities in Karuna’s projects.
- stimulating entrepreneurs and development organizations to contribute financially and technically to the realization of the objectives of Karuna Foundation or to start such initiatives themselves.
- influencing Dutch and Nepalese organizations through our approach.
- sharing experiences and lessons with Nepalese policy makers, service providers and other (international) organizations.
- cooperating intensely with national and international stakeholders in improving the health care.
