Women empowerment, small scale income-generating projects, tuition for children, educational assistance.
This project is being implemented in Karimadom, an urban slum in Trivandrum, Kerala, India. The majority of the people are headload workers in the marketplace, and the needs of their children are often unattended. Male heads of the family often shirk responsibility, and women look after households. Children and youth are prone to the drug menace. The KEEN initiative is a tool to empower the residents of Karimadom to be socially, psychologically, and economically independent and reach sustainability.
