The Kevin Rohan Memorial Eco Foundation (KRMEF) was established in 2008 near Khokana, in the southwest of the Kathmandu Valley. The foundation provides the under privileged, disabled and poor with an opportunity to work on an organic biodynamic farm and allows them to be productive, while enabling their children to attend school.

KRMEF Village is trying to save the local environment by using local manpower, local waste and educating the local population about the benefits of protecting the environment. The project currently runs free health and dental camps in some schools and looks forward to opening a free clinic in the southern corner of Kathmandu Valley very soon.

KRMEF Village has begun a pilot project focused on recycling waste found in and around the city of Kathmandu and utilizing the waste to make energy and building materials. This process gives work to many jobless, helpless and disabled individuals.

KRMEF Village already has an eco-guest house, a working organic/biodynamic garden, and a Waldorf based village school for poor children. The project currently operates two sites. With your continuing support, we look forward to further developing our network to other treatments and education for physically handicapped children and to take care of the old, among many other activities.

Krishna Gurung, one of the co-founders of Shanti Sewa Griha Village (Nepal) (see http://krmecovillage.com/shanti-sewa-griha/) founded the KRMEFV project with his wife Leela and other friends in memory of their late son, Kevin Rohan Gurung, who tragically and physically left the earth at the age of seven years old on the 21st of December, 2008.

Behind every amazing foundation is a mission and set of values that helps them to achieve their fullest potential. Recently, after a couple of years already working hard following a certain mission and instilling their values on everyone they interact with, our partner, Krishna Gurung, of the Kevin Rohan Memorial Eco Foundation, sat down to fully develop the written description of their mission and values.

KREMEF MISSION STATEMENT:
o To apply our knowledge of existing possibilities and act as a beacon of prosperity.
