First-Ever Charter Flight organized by KCWA lands in Mangaluru
Kuwait Canara Welfare Association (KCWA) is the foremost and leading Mangalorean Association in Kuwait, primarily engaged in funding the poor children’s educational needs and allied purposes, regardless of religion, caste & creed back home in India and Kuwait for the past thirty-two years. It gives us great joy to mention that KCWA’s charity will soon cross IRS 5 Crores. Reaching this milestone would not have been possible without the constant support of our generous donors, well-wishers, and our very own committed members.
During the current pandemic COVID-19 situation throughout, many people are stranded in Kuwait with a hope to soon travel to their hometown. With this thought in mind, KCWA has taken the initiative to support its fellow brethren to reach their homes safely. It is a proud moment for KCWA to successfully organize its First-Ever Chartered Flight in coordination with Al Rashed International Travel – Kuwait.
Though it was quite a challenging project, but not impossible to God Almighty, and through the intercession of our blessed Mama Mary, KCWA managed to complete all the required procedures successfully. Besides, prayers and best wishes of our members and well-wishers have helped us achieve success in this project.
