By purchasing our scarves you help the residents of Nepal lead a healthier life.



A large number of Nepalese people cannot afford basic healthcare services. This is especially problematic for the elderly citizens as there is no system in place to support and care for them. The problem is amplified in the rural areas where diseases are a commonplace occurrence.


By purchasing our yak wool, cashmere and cotton scarves you help the residents of Nepal take one step forward towards a healthier life. We work in close collaboration with the Nepal Care Foundation which organizes free health camps for the poorest Nepalese citizens. These are people that cannot go to a medical check-up, let alone pay for the treatment or medicine. The Health Camps offer care for a wide array of medical conditions prevalent among the Nepalese people. Local doctors and nurses are hired to work in these Health Camps and they reimbursed in full by The Nepal Foundation according to the Nepalese standard. Besides organizing the Health Camps, the foundation regularly donates baby clothes to maternity room in Kathmandu and are aiming to build a facility providing 24-hour elderly care for the residents of the surrounding area.


The Nepal Care Foundation is the main supplier of our cotton, cashmere and yak wool products, which includes our entire scarf collection. We have chosen to work with the Nepal Care Foundation as in addition to the care they provide for the sick, they also support many farmers of the raw materials they use by paying fair wages. Therefore, when you buy a Kala scarf you are likewise contributing to a better standard of living for the farmers of this developing country. This collaboration is part of our commitment to a sustainable and fair-trade supply chain from one end to the other. By purchasing at Kala, you can rest assured that the eco-friendly products you receive involve no exploitative or child labor. More than that, your actions drive us closer to a healthier planet and society.


But it doesn’t end there. A contribution to a cause does not have to mean a sacrifice in your personal comfort. In fact, with Kala, it’s quite the opposite. In addition to making the (helping the world become) world a better place, your decision to trust Kala with your purchase provides you with a product of a quality that is hard to match.
