They focus on bringing about a qualitative change in the lives of underprivileged children by giving a different meaning to education. Literacy India provides diverse education support to children from underprivileged communities, breaking the cycle of poverty by building trust and awareness, teaching about personal grooming, providing role models, producing street plays, identifying local social problems, along with more traditional classrooms schooling, adult literacy classes, sponsorship and vocational training.
Literacy India also supports an independent Paper Unit where paper is recycled by women who have been taught the process to help them earn a living.
Kuoni Destination Management has tied up with a non-profit organization, Literacy India as an extension of its Corporate Social Responsibility initiative.
The Company now supports Literacy India’s noble cause and has tied up with them by giving them a project to help empower women. Through this project, underprivileged women were given an opportunity to gain employment and develop their skill further to sustain their livelihood. These women have created handmade bags from recycled paper with the Kuoni branding. Each bag has a small note attached to it that highlights the concept behind the bag which reflects on the Companies CSR initiative.
KDM India also supports Literacy India by donating old clothes and paper which is required for making hand made bags.
