The Kirti’s Kare Foundation (KKF) and the Indian community have reaffirmed commitment to transform lives of the less privileged group in the society with its legacy project.
According to them, the move would go a long way to help the needy and less privileged groups live a fulfilling lives.

The Founder, KKF, Kirti Sudhanshu, on the sidelines of an Indian musical concert organised by Harmony Group, said KKF has invested its sincere efforts in creating a legacy for the Nigerian population.

“We believe that every individual is born for a reason. KKF promotes and supports all actions and endeavours aimed at empowering and uplifting the communities and the society at large. It is our immense pleasure to come together with like-minded social entities like Harmony Musical Society to achieve our goals,” she said.

“Together, we support a common cause and bring awareness to our community through our efforts,” she added.

She however, expressed her profound gratitude to the Consul General of India, Mr Chandra Mouli Karn for his encouraging presence throughout the event and his enthusiastic and involvement in the show which she said was a reflection of the deep connection that Indian diaspora has with performing arts.

“Our artificial limb center is free for everyone and it is not just only for the less privileged, but anyone in difficulty can come into our center and it is 100 per cent free will. We have been able to get good sponsors and like-minded people supporting us with our legacy project. I am also inviting more Nigerians, because this is a Nigerian project. Nigerian community must join hands with us to transform the lives of Nigerians,” she urged.

The KKF spokespersons for Africa and India, Mrs. VANDANA Rastogi, said Harmony Group is a non profit organisation which promotes not only amateur talents from the Indian community, but also a platform for the Nigerian community, while also applauding their stellar efforts in promoting talents.

She said despite being a non-profit organisation, they also realise the importance of Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) donating proceeds towards various socioeconomic activities.

“For instance, they are helping various organisations and we in KKF are very proud and joining hands with Harmony Group to use the proceeds from the concert to drive our legacy project. The legacy project is the artificial limbs project which was started by KKF. We want to help create a legacy for people. We want people to live fulfilling lives, so we provide customised artificial limbs to those who are deprived of them free of charge,” she said.
In her words: “We are also into various socioeconomic activities and also supporting various organisations and communities in different capacities.”

She pointed out that the musical concert creates awareness and acts as a medium to encourage people to put their talents into the best possible use to impact the society positively.

“The event is going to help KKF get a new platform to support KKF activities both regards to the artificial limbs legacy projects,” she added.

Reacting to a question about KKF’s expectations from the new administration expected to run Nigeria’s economy in the next four years, she said the Foundation believes in the vision of the President elect, Asiwaju Bola Tinubu, saying that he has the capacity to stabilise the Nigerian economy that has been going through some turbulent times
