With support from members, KKS has been doing many charitable activities for the last so many years. KKS strongly believes in giving back to society, which has given all of us a lot.
As part of Charitable Activities, KKS provided a premium wheelchair and a big vessel with a lid (worth 15k) for cooking 45 kgs of food (weighing 70kgs) to the AIR Humanitarian Homes, Bannerghatta, Bangalore, today. KKS provided two wheelchairs, 100 blankets, and 15 walking sticks to AIR Humanitarian Homes last year.
Helping the homeless is indeed a humbling experience. Engaging in such activities provides tangible support to those in need and also deepens empathy and understanding towards humanity. It underscores the importance of community, compassion, and the realization that small acts of kindness can make a significant difference in someone’s life. Through these experiences, we often find that we gain as much as we give, fostering a deeper connection to our shared humanity.
As per the plan, a charity event was organized today to support homeless individuals in our society, especially in Bangalore. A team of 5 EC members of KKS (Mr. Rajani Kant Srivastava, Mr. Rajiv Saxena, Mrs. Baljit Saxena, Mrs. Anupam Saxena, and the undersigned) visited the AIR Humanitarian Homes, Bannerghatta, Bangalore, donated the items mentioned above, and spent time with the homeless, listening to their stories, and providing emotional support.
The EC team addressed a gathering of more than 400+ homeless individuals who are being taken care of by the efficient team including Mr. Praveen R, Chief of Service, Ms. Merry, and Head Cook of AIR Humanitarian Homes, offering them immediate relief and fostering a sense of family and care. KKS salutes them for doing noble work with sincerity and dedication.
This activity was a small step towards addressing the larger issue of homelessness, aiming to bring dignity, hope, and a sense of belonging to those in need. KKS will make this a regular initiative, with the next event focusing on providing clothes.

The team members of KKS along with the volunteers from the Indian Cancer Society (ICS) successfully implemented its initiative aimed at providing nutrition kits to cancer patients living below the poverty line (BPL) at Victoria Hospital, City Market, Bangalore. Thanks to Mr. Rai Sachindra Bahadur for making all the arrangements and also for being with me throughout the event.
Through collective efforts by a few EC members of KKS, volunteers from ICS, and a few KKS members who donated towards this noble cause, we have been able to make a positive impact on the lives of those facing the dual challenges of cancer and financial hardship.
The below-mentioned transparent selection process of patients ensured that assistance reached those who needed it the most.
The nutrition kits included the specific dietary needs of cancer patients mainly 2 packets of Protein, a steel water bottle, and a bag that is large and strong enough for keeping reports and other important documents. Each kit costs Rs. 3K and is for two months. A total of 10 kits worth Rs. 30k were donated to 10 cancer patients in three wards today.
Our sincere thanks to our members who donated and supported this initiative financially. Their contributions have enabled us to provide essential nutritional support to those who might otherwise go without.
The success of this initiative is a testament to the strength of our KKS. We appreciate the active involvement of volunteers from ICS, including lead Counsellor, Mrs. Alpa who dedicated their time to organizing distribution events and raising awareness about the importance of proper nutrition during cancer treatment.
Let us continue working together at KKS to support our society, and make a positive impact on the lives of those facing health challenges and financial struggles.
Sincerely,
