About Us

Old women on the roadside beg for food, street children lack nutrition and look hungry, a disease attacked man is found on the roadside, lacking proper treatment.

On seeing these people, we pitied them and decided to help them. But we couldn’t due to economic constraints during our school days.

During our college days we got a chance to help these people. We formed a group and started helping orphanages and homes that provided food and shelter.

Later, we realised that most of the orphanages and homes get enough funds (money) for running their organisation and also enough support from public. So we looked out for a good cause wherein we could help the needful.

Thus, we focused ourselves to serving people and society directly. We discussed among ourselves and named our organization KANAA (Kanavu).

KANAA is a social welfare trust founded by a young and vibrant group of friends. Since 2012 Kanaa has been a non-profit and non-governmental organisation runned by a group of enthusiastic friends with a vision of empowering the society .The aim of Kanaa would be to invoke the unique personality of a child and also to motivate adults to be responsible citizens who will be role models for future generations.

Kanaa was established on 19 October 2012.

All our programmes are designed to ensure:

1) Provision of basic needs, free food, clothing, education and medical aid to orphaned children and aged people.

2) Organisation and conduction of programmes to educate youth, illiterates and downtrodden people and guide them to be good citizens in society and to serve the country.

3) Helps underprivileged children by providing access to extracurricular activities like sports, music, dance, art, learning foreign languages, etc.

4) Help and guidance of the weaker sections for better development by providing drinking water and organizing medical camps for the poor and needy people.

5) Making certain the educational privileges reach children who are unable to attend school.

6) Conduction of blood donation camps and social awareness camps.

Blood Donation Camp

Blood Donation camp by KANAA with Lions Club of New Chrompet.

Date     : 15/08/2012

Venue : St.Mary's Primary and Nursery School, Chrompet.

Kanaa joint hands with Lions Club of New Chrompet in organizing a blood donation camp on the 15th of August, 2012 - Independence Day, in St Mary’s Primary and Nursery School, Chrompet.

The camp kicked off at 10 am with a good number of people voluntarily taking part. The Members volunteered along with the hospital authorities in welcoming donors and filling up the required forms with a smile on their faces.

  

Kanaa’s effective propaganda resulted in a good turn out of totally 53 active donors, who donated in all 41 units of blood, that could help in saving many lives. This event would not have been a success without the help of Ln J Suresh Kumar, Zone Chair person, Lions Club of New Chrompet, and the young and vibrant social service conglomerate - Kanaa. Last but not the least, the entire event was guided by Dr R Saibabu from Frontier Lifeline Hospital, where the donated blood has been deposited.

"Every donor is a hero"

Without blood donors, many patients simply would not be alive today. All the blood donors deserve to be thanked for being a part in saving valuable lives. On behalf of kanaa, we would like to say a special thanks to all the kind people who donated the blood on that day.

We thank all who supported for the cause.

We salute all who donate blood.

Dictionary Distribution

Our first event was the distribution of dictionaries to the sixth, seventh and eighth grade students of a municipality school.

Date    : 23/11/2011

Venue : Pallavapuram municipality high school, Jamin Royapettai, Chromepet.

Chief Guest : Mr. R.Ravindran, 

                      Correspondent, Vivekananda Vidyalaya, Chromepet.

“It is not healthy to swallow books without them”

After a discussion with the Headmaster, Mr. Saviour, of the Municipality School, Jamin Royapettai, we at Kanaa planned for the improvement of government school students' English knowledge by inculcating in them the habit of using a dictionary.

To implement this process, we targeted the sixth, seventh and eighth grade students of the school.

We also planned for a motivational speech by a speaker who could evoke the students’ thoughts towards the present educational process.

We chose Mr. R. Ravindran, Correspondent, Vivekananda Vidyalaya, Chromepet, and approached him regarding this. He complied and we scheduled the function.

Even though it was a usual hectic working day, KANAA volunteers and guest Mr. R. Ravindran, Correspondent of Vivekananda Vidyalaya Matriculation school, reached the school premises around 9 A.M with the warm welcome by busy students, caring teachers and principal along with the chill welcome by our ‘Varna Bhagawan’.

Mr. Ravindran presented a good, motivational thought to the students. He spoke about the ancient system of education and compared it to the current system. He started with the story of zero, pie and algebra and went into mathematics by asking few simple questions to interact well with the students present over there. Later, he concluded by explaining the current educational system and their learning process.

Finally, he distributed 105 dictionaries to the sixth- and seventh-grade students.

Mr. Saviour was very excited about this event as no student made a noise or disturbed the function, which in his experience was new. Also, he requested Mr. Ravindran to provide 100 more dictionaries for eighth-grade students.

Mr. Ravindran accepted his request and handed over the cost for dictionaries to Mr. S. Renu Karthick of Kanaa team and 120 dictionaries were again distributed to the eight-grade students on 26 January 2012.

This was the first feather in the cap for our team.
