Objectives of Basa Foundation
Basa Foundation has been established with the commitment to improve the quality of life of disadvantaged and underserved communities, particularly in rural and mountainous areas of Nepal. Our major objectives are as follows:
- Promote Sustainable Education Opportunities
Empower children, women, low-income families, and socially disadvantaged groups by improving their access to quality, inclusive, and sustainable education. We aim to create opportunities that enable individuals to develop knowledge, confidence, and skills for a better future.
- Promote Skills Development and Livelihood Opportunities
Encourage women, poor families, and disadvantaged members of society to participate in vocational, technical, and income-generating skills training. These opportunities are intended to strengthen self-reliance, improve household income, and enhance the overall quality of life.
- Promote Health and Environmental Awareness
Provide health, hygiene, sanitation, and environmental education through community-based awareness programs and social campaigns. We aim to encourage healthy lifestyles, responsible environmental practices, and greater community participation in protecting local resources.
- Improve Awareness of Nutrition, Maternal Health, and Family Planning
Raise community awareness about malnutrition, balanced nutrition, maternal and child health, reproductive health, and responsible family planning. We seek to support healthier families through education, awareness, and access to appropriate information and services.
- Support Community Sanitation, Water Management, and Environmental Conservation
Mobilize and encourage communities to improve sanitation, drinking water and irrigation systems, waste and rubbish management, and traditional cooking practices. We also promote forest conservation, afforestation, and measures to reduce deforestation and environmental degradation.
- Promote Children’s Recreation, Creativity, and Physical Development
Provide educational, recreational, sports, musical, and other creative resources and instruments that contribute to children’s mental well-being, creativity, confidence, social development, and physical fitness.
- Promote Modern and Sustainable Agriculture
Support smallholder and disadvantaged farmers by introducing modern, sustainable, and productive agricultural practices. Through skills training, demonstrations, workshops, and seminars, we aim to improve agricultural productivity, food security, income opportunities, and resilience to changing environmental conditions.
- Support Rural Infrastructure and Community Facilities
Contribute to the development of essential community infrastructure in remote and underserved areas, including bridges, health centers and medical consultation facilities, community halls, trails, pathways, and other locally needed facilities. Such initiatives aim to improve connectivity, access to essential services, and the overall well-being of rural communities.
Our Commitment
Through these objectives, Basa Foundation seeks to work in partnership with local communities, government agencies, volunteers, development partners, and other stakeholders. Our goal is to promote inclusive development, self-reliance, social well-being, and sustainable community development while ensuring that support reaches those who need it most.
