Founding Story

The Kashmir Care Foundation (KCF) was founded with a vision to empower the youth of Kashmir, a region rich in culture but facing socio-economic challenges. Dr. Altaf Lal, inspired by the untapped potential he saw in the region’s young people, recognized the need for mentorship and resources to help them realize their dreams. His passion for education, innovation, and collaboration led to the creation of KCF, initially aimed at providing opportunities for mentorship and skill development. The foundation’s efforts evolved into Kashmir Global Connect, a global community that fosters the exchange of ideas and promotes accessible education, research, and interdisciplinary collaboration across fields like technology, healthcare, and education. Despite facing limited resources and significant challenges, KCF’s unwavering commitment to its mission has allowed it to create lasting impact. By equipping young professionals with the skills necessary for success and fostering collaboration, KCF is breaking down barriers and driving positive change. What began as a small initiative in Kashmir has grown into a thriving global network that continues to inspire progress and opportunity worldwide.
