Jan Salter MBE is the founder of the Kathmandu Animal Treatment Centre (KAT Centre), a charity organisation that works to create a healthy, sustainable street dog population and eliminate rabies in Kathmandu, Nepal. She is also an artist〔 〕 who is widely acclaimed for her portraits of people of Nepal. ==Early life== Salter was born in Southampton, England. During her younger years, she travelled extensively throughout the world, often finding employment as a hairdresser in the countries she visited. This profession gave her the opportunity to earn income to support her travels.〔(VOW, Voice of Women magazine ), April 2011. Retrieved on 2 April 2012〕 Ms. Salter first visited the Himalayan country of Nepal in 1967 as a tourist. She was hired as a hairdresser in Boris Lisanevich's Royal Hotel, one of the first international hotels in the country. She continued to travel worldwide but no other country interested her like Nepal did. In 1975, she returned to Kathmandu, the capital of Nepal, and has lived there since then.〔(ECS Magazine ), March 2004.

Salter trekked with her Nepali son Premlal extensively throughout Nepal and drew portraits of the diverse ethnic groups who inhabit different regions of the country. She soon became well known for these portraits. She has enjoyed a successful career as an artist with many exhibitions of her work, and is still widely respected in Nepal for her paintings of the country's many ethnicities.〔(VOW, Voice of Women magazine ), April 2011.
