KELP - Knowledge to Empower Less Privileged
Much has been done for education, but there is very little thought that has gone in providing useful knowledge to the illiterate ones of our society. The objective is to create awareness about rights, opportunities, govt programs, skills for employability etc etc and empower them to get a better socio-economic status, through informal knowledge and training sessions. The awareness raising program, when taken up by a large group of educated people, can have a perceivable impact in the lives of economically less privileged.
KELP is a large seaweed enriched with a lot of vitamins and useful minerals. WGA has a large pool of educated class, very well positioned to drive this program collectively and create an impact.
