The KGA has a mandate to promote the welfare of members of the community. The objective is to render assistance to members, offer support in emergencies and financial aid or grants to those in need. To implement this, a dedicated group of nominated members serve on an ‘Education and Welfare Panel’ (EWP) that has been in operation for over 10 years now.

The EWP is committed to assisting those who are in need to the extent feasible, in the form of advice, community support or grants, based on a request from the member concerned or the family. The EWP works closely with the KGA office bearers and committee to offer this assistance to the community.

The EWP provides financial and other personal assistance in a number of ways:

• Tuiton Fees for schools and colleges courses
• Books, uniforms etc
• Medical expenses
• Assistance in emergencies
• Visits to the ailing members and senior citizens
• Career advice and job recommendations

The list above is not exhaustive and each case is considered on its merits. Members can approach the EWP for assistance on behalf of other members as well.

Process to be followed when seeking assistance:

The request for financial or other support should come through a KGA member. On receipt of the request the EWP will get in touch to understand the requirement and organise assistance as required. ALL REQUESTS WILL BE TREATED IN STRICT CONFIDENCE.

While requesting for support the member needs to provide some basic information:

1. Name
2. Contact Number
3. Email ID
4. Area of assistance
5. Case referred by (where applicable)

The request may be sent by email to one of the Committee Members:
