On September 13th  all donors of the Karuna Foundation were invited to the Royal Tropical Institute (KIT) in Amsterdam to discuss the first results of the impact study by the KIT and celebrate the start of the DPRP 2.0.

After extensive discussion by our directors in Nepal with the government in Koshi Province, the Nepalese budget for DPRP2.0 in the next fiscal year (starting July 15th) has been officially allocated for an amount of €730.000. Also, meetings are held in the 4 districts where the program will start with  mayors of the 34 new municipalities, who all seemed positive to adopt the program and allocate the budget.
