Kirara No Kai (KNK) is a non-governmental organization established in 1992 in Dhaka, Bangladesh, with the goal of empowering the poorest communities, especially women and children, through social and economic development initiatives. KNK operates primarily in the Kurigram district, one of the most poverty-stricken areas of Bangladesh, where it implements various projects and programs aimed at poverty alleviation, education, health, and social welfare.
KNK operates educational centers under the Sonar Shishu Education Programme, providing non-formal education to children of group members. Approximately 9,500 children have benefited from this initiative.
KNK provides microcredit to poor women in Kurigram, enabling them to start income-generating activities. The program has reached 34,425 group members, with over 12,162 loans disbursed.
KNK promotes environmental conservation through large-scale tree plantation activities, including the creation of the largest Amropali mango garden in Bangladesh.
KNK organizes cultural and social activities for children to promote their mental and physical well-being. Notably, it facilitated the creation of the world’s largest painting by 13,000 children in 1996
In 1996, Kirara No Kai organized an extraordinary event in Kurigram, where 13,000 children came together to create the world’s largest painting, covering a massive 10,000 square meters. This remarkable achievement aimed to promote creativity, cultural expression, and the overall development of children from one of the most impoverished regions in Bangladesh. The event not only allowed the children to showcase their artistic talents but also served as a platform to raise awareness about the importance of education and empowerment for underprivileged children.
Kirara No Kai empowers Bangladesh's poorest through education, microcredit, and health projects, focusing on women and children's upliftment.
