Origin and History

In a gloomy evening of December 2001, a group of 100 like minded people seeking new horizon for social activities joined together decided to form a platform -- an organization with a new vision was then born.

The Association was established on December 16, 2001 with a mission to aid and secure development of its members who are mainly low salaried and middle income group of Indian nationals working in Kuwait.

A flash back on KKMA’s past year activities will reveal that we are right on this direction by implementing various programs to execute our mission.

KKMA currently has 15 units in different parts of Kuwait having unit and zonal level committees to look after its activities.

The major achievement is the planning and implementation of Family Benefit Scheme (FBS) for the benefit of the organization’s deceased family members.

The Association also have implemented a Members’ Welfare Scheme (MWS) for assisting its members in the hour of need. The organization was able to provide financial support to its members for emergency medical treatment in India and provide air ticket for returning home in difficult conditions, etc.

The Student Adoption Program implemented by the Association is another noble program. Under this program, KKMA adopts poor but brilliant students to financially support them for their college graduate initiatives. Currently there are 44 students studying in various universities in India. KKMA also take responsibility of ensuring basic education of the children of its members in the event of their death.

On social development side, KKMA was in the forefront for resolving community matters either financially or conveying matters to the concerned authority. The organization recently raised a fund towards Relief Fund for supporting Tsunami affected compatriate in India.

The Association established a Relief Fund for supporting the people for having a shelter and thus helped 21 such people in Kerala and South Canara of Karntaka State. This was in addition to supporting several needy poor and destitute in Kuwait and Kerala in answering their pledges.
