The KOMA Karanth Foundation, in partnership with Oceans Plastics, has been delivering hands-on workshops on plastic pollution across multiple classrooms. As summer break approached, the foundation organized a special field trip for the children from its little school. The day began at the local landfill — a powerful and eye-opening experience that brought the reality of waste into sharp focus. Afterwards, the group gathered nearby to discuss how trash affects the environment

The KOMA Karanth Foundation celebrates a proud milestone: one of its sponsored scholars, Missy Boncales, has graduated with a bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, cum laude, and has already secured her first job. Heartfelt thanks are extended to the foundation’s sponsors, whose generous support has made this achievement possible. Education has the power to transform lives. The foundation hopes these young scholars will continue to work with dedication, patience, and determi

KOMA 46 has now been completed. The houses look more beautiful than ever as the team continues to grow in skill with each home, while also incorporating more functional and attractive features into the designs. This latest house has been named in honor of Roma Wadhwani Chandiramani, one of the kindest and most beautiful donors. Roma has remained steadfast in her faith and support for the project. The team is deeply grateful to Roma for all that she does.

Every time KOMA sets out to support a woman striving to build her own small business, the project somehow grows into something far greater. Because we simply cannot resist helping a woman who is doing everything in her power to help herself and her family. This incredible lady, with the brightest and most infectious smile, runs a small tailoring business. What began as a plan to provide her with sewing materials and improve her workspace changed the moment we saw the challeng

Last month, Roma sponsored a special feeding program in honour of her father’s birthday. It was dedicated to a remote tribal community living deep in the mountains. These resilient families walked four long hours — barefoot and tired, yet filled with hope — just to receive a simple meal of rice. For them, rice is a true luxury, and what we often take for granted became a day of celebration, joy, and togetherness. After the meal, as they prepared for the long journey home, the

He came to us with a deeply moving story. Battling a serious illness that requires regular dialysis, he has been struggling not only with his health but also with the heavy financial burden it has placed on his family — a strain that sadly led to some resentment at home. At his lowest point, he felt completely hopeless and had lost the will to carry on. Then came the news that his wife was pregnant. That little spark of new life reignited his fight — for himself and for his u

We are pleased to share that the new year has begun with meaningful progress. This period has seen the completion of one new KOMA house, the establishment of a sustainable small business, and the provision of numerous community feeding programs. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Preeti Sharma, along with the dedicated feeders group from DB and those from outside the area, for their generous sponsorship of this feeding initiative. Despite heavy rainfall, our committed voluntee

We are delighted to share the story of a wonderful couple who previously operated a modest barbershop from their small hut. Inspired by the success of the salon we established earlier, we aimed to support the creation of additional sustainable small businesses. Upon learning that their home consisted solely of a basic hut, we felt it was both necessary and meaningful to construct a proper, dignified residence combined with a dedicated barbershop facility. We extend our sincer

We are grateful to share details of a recent community outreach event that brought together nourishment, care, and support for many. The program included a community feeding, alongside the distribution of toys and clothing to children and families in need. We extend our sincere thanks to Eileen Ho for her thoughtful organization of the toy distribution. The children’s joy and excitement were truly heartwarming. A special prayer was also offered for a beloved family member cur

A massive festive feast brought joy to more than 350 members of the underprivileged tribal community as we celebrated Christmas and welcomed the New Year. The photos and videos are truly touching and full of warmth. There were games, gifts, delicious food, dancing, and so much laughter everywhere! Our entire team, and everyone present, had an absolute blast. A big thank you to Preeti Sharma and her friends from Hong Kong for generously sponsoring this wonderful holiday meal.

KOMA 43 is complete and ready! We’ve chosen to name this home Janet, in honor of a lively and incredibly generous woman whose willingness to give her time truly left us in awe. My hope is that the children who grow up here will carry forward that same spirit of kindness toward others, however they can. Because this house stands on low-lying ground, we put in additional effort and resources to properly fill and prepare the site before construction could begin. Today marks a jo
