Celebrating our 20th Anniversary
Our story began on 22nd December 2003 when founder trustee Arthur Benbow then, 70 years old, first visited Nepal on a 14 day organised cycle tour. It was just three days before Christmas when Arthur cycled through the remote village of Palubari in the Kathmandu Valley. He came upon a school with no children, it was Saturday, a day when the children of Nepal don’t go to school. However, some staff and the Headmaster were at the school. Arthur was welcomed by the Headmaster who looked at the bearded globetrotter and said “Welcome Xmas Father, would you care to see around the school?” Conditions for the six staff and 80 children were incredibly basic with only one toilet for both staff and children.
Arthur took his story and pictures of the school back to friends and family in the UK. Offers of funding and help followed, and after several other visits to Nepal, Arthur decided to set up a registered Charity in 2005 and KASIN was born.
