Kankura Masat Social Welfare Society

Kankura Masat Social Welfare Society (KMSWS) functions as a catalyst for sustainable development by promoting self-reliance and ensuring equal access to opportunities. Its vision focuses on empowering individuals for a thriving and inclusive future. The mission involves creating platforms that nurture inner talents and foster a supportive environment for personal growth.

Major Interventions:

Climate Action: Initiatives focus on safeguarding the environment through practical action and community ownership. The organization carries out large-scale mangrove and tree plantation drives to strengthen natural barriers against erosion and storms. Strategic tree planting, such as Jhau, Siris, Peach, and Neem, strengthens the region's climate resilience, especially against cyclones. It forms village-level conservation groups to protect and monitor ecological restoration efforts. These programs build climate-prepared communities by linking ecological health with livelihood security.

Education: The NGO operates formal schooling through Tiyas School, which provides quality education and holistic growth. It uses digital tools and activity-based learning to make education impactful. A Remedial Centre offers subject-specific coaching to bridge learning gaps for older students. Additionally, a Career Guidance Program prepares students with essential skills like critical thinking and problem-solving for their future aspirations.

Women Empowerment: The society promotes financial independence through various skill development and entrepreneurial support programs. It conducts advanced tailoring training where women learn to create eco-friendly products like reusable cotton bags and sanitary napkins. These initiatives help women gain confidence, earn a consistent income, and play active roles in strengthening their families.

Health and Livelihood: Regular medical check-ups and nutrition support for students are provided. Livelihood initiatives promote climate-resilient agriculture by introducing farmers to bio-farming and organic compost. It provides training on organic techniques to help marginalized farmers improve soil fertility and adapt to changing climate patterns. Other social welfare activities include distributing blankets and celebrating special days to maintain community bonds.
