Main activities are:

  • Usha Silai School Program: The aim of this program is to reach out to women in the most marginal communities and imparting sewing skills to them and encouraging them to train other village women. These women are given sewing machines, know-how on stitching and on maintenance of sewing machines. The women can use these skills to earn a livelihood (income from teaching sewing, stitching and from servicing sewing machines) and become financially independent. The Silai School has trained around 120 students and the women are encouraged to start similar Silai Schools in their respective villages.
  • Water Harvesting: In partnership with ONGC, the NGO has installed 20 rain water harvesting tanks during the year. The tanks were constructed with a focus to supply potable water to the rural communities of Kumaon for daily usage. Community members were trained for the purpose of maintaning and utilizing the harvesting tanks. This project has also supported several masons financially during the construction of the tanks.  

KAGAS works with agencies like CIDA (Canadian International Development Agency), CECI (Canadian Center for International Studies and Cooperation), Action Aid, Skill share International, Room to Read U.S.A, Shamdasani Foundation and with State and National Governments.
