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 and creed back home in India and Kuwait for the past thirty-two years. And until now, KCWA’s charity will soon cross Rs 5 Crores. As per the board members, reaching this milestone would not have been possible without the constant support of their generous donors, well-wishers, and their very own committed members.
During the current pandemic COVID 19 situation throughout, many people were stranded in Kuwait with a hope to soon travel to their hometown. With this thought in mind KCWA took an initiative to support its fellow brethren to reach their homes safely. It is indeed 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 Blessed Mary, KCWA managed to successfully complete all the required procedures. Besides, prayers and best wishes of their members and well-wishers, it helped them achieve success in this project. KCWA especially wants to thank Web Administrator Mr. Allan D Souza for efficiently coordinating and timely updating the progress of the project on the website.
