KasaMira is a development organization dedicated to alleviating poverty by empowering the poor to bring about change in their own lives. KasaMira began in 2013 and has established itself as “a pioneer in recognizing and tackling the many different realities of poverty.” Our foundation hopes to see Muzaffarabad as a region where “one day every person will have access to the critical goods and services they need – including affordable health, water, housing, energy, agricultural inputs and services.” We aim just for “no displaced person must be without help when it comes to finding protection and durable solutions.”
The main goal of KasaMira is to consolidate the role of women, youth, children and other vulnerable population in the communities by enhancing their participation in social, cultural, economic, political and environmental issues. Empowering marginalized communities through equitable, inclusive and holistic development events.
KasaMira’s vision is to work for the education of underprivileged kids or students of different age groups and background with an objective of eliminating illiteracy. Provides support to the sick, disabled and diseased people by helping them in treatment and other support. Also promotes awareness regarding health. Works for the preservation of environment and sustainable development.
KasaMira strengthens Kashmiri communities by providing up-to-date data and other resources and support via the Internet and other sources to help build stronger and bigger who can perform and operate professionally, efficiently, and with greater accountability.
How We Reflect - Study
INTERCONNECTION
No person, community, or ecosystem exists in isolation. The safety and health of human populations are inextricably linked to the safety and health of our planet and its wildlife. None of us are truly free until even the most vulnerable communities and ecosystems among us are safe and flourishing.
RESILIENCE
There is no silver bullet to ending violence and exploitation. We are constantly evaluating, listening, correcting, and innovating. We do not fail when we change course. We fail when we are unwilling to change when that is what's needed.
JUSTICE
Everyone should have the safety freedom to reach their full potential. When cultural norms or institutional policies view some lives as more important than others, we will hold them, and the leaders behind them, to account.
STORY
We are committed to honor the stories behind the statistics of violence and exploitation. In doing so, we elevate the courage and resilience of those facing unspeakable challenges, and unleash the human capacity for empathy that has the power to change history.
SOLIDARITY
The most effective solutions to violence and exploitation will not be crafted in far-away offices by a powerful few, but by a diverse and collaborative community, with those most affected by injustice at the center. If someone puts their hands on us, we make sure they never put their hands on anybody else again.
GRIT
We are not satisfied until we achieve meaningful, positive results. We do not see the challenges and ineffectiveness of the status quo as barriers to success, but as invitations to think creatively and to push forward.
IDEALISM
Our determination comes from knowing what we are for, and not simply what we are against. Creating a road-map for change requires the vision to see a better way, the belief that a better way is possible, and the conviction that justice demands it.
HOPE
We believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And we believe that love is stronger than death.
