KOMA 45: Dedicated to Uncle Shiva, Built for a Hardworking Mother
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

Four Hours for Rice: One Woman’s Kindness Reaches the Mountains
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

KOMA Food Cart: Turning Hopelessness into Self-Reliance
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

KOMA 44: A Home and Barbershop Built Together, Inspired by Heartfelt Generosity
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

KOMA 43: A Home Built with Extra Care and Named for Extraordinary Generosity
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
