The Oda Foundation, in tandem with local leaders, private partners and government of Nepal support, develops integrative community development solutions for some of Nepal's most geographically isolated communities. Headquartered in the Kalikot district, the foundation has concentrated healthcare and education initiatives while providing additional community needs as they are identified. The Foundation was incorporated in August 2013 and began operations on December 12, 2013. The Oda Foundation is committed to local investment, community involvement and on-the-ground support and feedback. In March 2016 the District Development Committee recognized the Oda Foundation as Kalikot’s most effective health and education organization.
