The Kula Foundation

We don’t see ourselves as a traditional charity—we are a movement for change.

At The Kula Foundation, we are driven by a mission to empower communities through sustainable design solutions that foster social, economic, and environmental progress.

Today, we’re proud to officially launch Project Saathi. “Saathi” means friend, companion, and partner, reflecting our commitment to being consistent to those in need. That’s the heart of this initiative.

Project Saathi is designed based on a commitment to supporting children, families, and communities in India with your commitment to swap at least 1 Coffee, 1 Meal or 1 Purchase a month to become a Saathi Member. As a ‘Saathi’ you are able to help another person from an underserved community access better education, healthcare and livelihood support.

Rather than focusing on one off donations, you will be helping people access brighter futures through education, skill development, women’s empowerment, health and emergency aid, community wellbeing and more - with our commitment to provide you with frequent updates of how your support is used.

This initiative has been inspired by a shared experience with one of our volunteers, Neha Patel Hampton, who will lead this initiative with the belief that everyone should have access to better education, health, and environments.

Through Project Saathi, you will be supporting to:
🎓 Create educational opportunities
🏥 Provide access to medical care
💜 Empower women and girls
🙌 Support personal development
🌱 Champion community action
🤝 Strengthen resilience within underserved communities

This is more than a project. It’s the beginning of a long-term journey built on partnership, trust, and shared purpose.
And we’d love for you to be part of it.

📍 Eight years ago, Nish and one of our trustees worked alongside Manav Sadhna |માનવ સાધના |, spending time learning from communities, witnessing incredible resilience, and seeing first-hand how grassroots organisations can create lasting change.

Fast forward to today, and we’re proud to announce the start of a new partnership with Manav Sadhna as we explore how we can support communities with life-changing work in informal settlements and support project expansion.

It’s a reminder that sometimes the experiences that inspire us most come back into our lives in unexpected ways. This October, Nish will be travelling to India to spend time with the team, strengthen relationships, and help develop a long-term plan for how The Kula Foundation can support programmes that are already making an incredible impact, including:

On a warm summer day, last week on Sunday 9th August 2026, our incredible group of supporters came together to take on the London Bridges Challenge, walking 15km across London and crossing 11 iconic bridges from Battersea Park to Tower Bridge.

We are delighted to share that, thanks to the generosity of our walkers, donors and supporters, we have already raised over £600 towards The Kula Foundation's mission and projects.

A huge thank you to everyone who walked, volunteered, donated, shared our posts, or simply cheered us on throughout the day. Every kilometre covered and every pound raised helps us continue supporting community-led initiatives focused on improving access to water, education, livelihoods and opportunity.

There’s still time to support the campaign and help us extend our impact even further. Donate Here: https://thekulafoundation.us9.list-manage.com/track/click?u=ce176135eb1bbadd8c5bc3de6&id=1f3fc38a6d&e=96d8bbfe30

Not every transformation happens overnight. But this one is truly underway with it opening the door to local income generation and long-term change.

Through our work with our friends JustWheels, we’re supporting a project that is already reaching 80 people, with life-changing impact for children living with disabilities.

In the pilot phase alone, 24 children and young people in Tanzania have received washable, reusable continence kits, alongside training for families and carers.

Families said the biggest challenge isn’t just access —
it’s availability.

The reality? Affordable, appropriate products are extremely limited, and often imported, expensive, and out of reach.

So now, the conversation is changing.
What if these products could be made locally?
What if this project didn’t just provide support… but created jobs, skills, and sustainable income within the community? Because the demand is there. The need is real.

This is how impact evolves:
From aid → to empowerment
From products → to livelihoods
From support → to self-sufficiency

Most people will never think twice about turning on a tap.
But for 44 people in Kenya… we are helping change that.

Today, something simple becomes something life-changing. 💧With your support, you can help install a 5,000-litre water tank at schools just like this one in Nakuru, Kenya, giving 42 children and 2 teachers reliable access to clean water every single day.

This isn’t just about water. It’s about health, dignity, and the ability to learn without disruption.

Before this, access to water was unpredictable, often running out during the day. Now, there’s stability. There’s safety. There’s opportunity.

This is what happens when a community comes together. This is what you can make possible. 🤍 Donate Today: https://donate.giveasyoulive.com/donate?cid=21016

If this moved you, help us reach the next school.

This isn’t just a garden. It’s a living classroom where adults with learning disabilities and local volunteers:
- Learn how to grow their own food
- Build independence and life skills
- Improve physical and mental wellbeing
- Connect with their community in meaningful ways

We’re proud to be supporting Reach Learning Disability through our Community Resilience Fund to launch the Edible Forest Project at Flower Pod, Southwell 🌿

Using innovative methods like vertical growing and hydroponics, this space proves something powerful, you don’t need acres of land to grow food and you don’t need perfect circumstances to grow confidence.

Behind this project is a reality many don’t see:
👉🏽 Many households are facing rising costs and food insecurity
👉🏽 Adults with learning disabilities are disproportionately affected by health inequalities and isolation

This initiative tackles both. Not by giving handouts, but by building capability, dignity, and long-term resilience.

Because this is what real impact looks like:
✅ From seed → to plate → to independence
✅ From isolation → to community
✅ From support → to self-sufficiency

If you believe in building stronger, more resilient communities:
💚 Follow our journey
💚 Share this post to amplify impact
💚 Support projects like this through The Kula Foundation

Because small seeds, can grow into life-changing opportunities.

On Saturday 20th June 2026, Nish Tailor with a couple others will be taking on their Walk for Change Challenge, starting from Battersea Park 🌉. They will walk 15km across 11 of London’s most iconic bridges, all to support the brilliant work of The Kula Foundation 🧡.

Every step helps The Kula Foundation create real, lasting change. With last years’ support, they’re installing a 5000L water tank in Kenya, supporting a school & toilet built with Eco Bricks to irrigation systems that help lift women out of poverty through urban farming in Kampala Uganda 🇺🇬 🌱, washable nappy programme for young wheelchair users that save families in Tanzania money every month 🇹🇿 👶, and local UK initiatives such as creating an edible forest garden in Nottingham 🌳.

We have helped over 1120 people already! This year, Nish is hoping to raise the bar for more projects like these with a £5000 goal!🎯

If you’d like to support this year, you can donate here: https://donate.giveasyoulive.com/donate?eid=31733

Small actions, big difference, real impact ✨ Well Done Nish for starting The Kula Foundation, we're all super proud of the work you've been doing!
