Kala is a bridge of contact for all contributors to contribute to their upliftment and respectful livelihood. Ensuring continuity of their valuable and rich knowledge and experience as a blessing and boon from them as a community activity for the village’s growth and development.

The food cart will allow the women to earn an income from their cooking skills. They can provide food and savouries during festivals and events in the local community and villages.
They say the way to a man’s heart is through his stomach, but what they probably never mentioned was that sometimes, the way to women’s liberation is also through the kitchen, a source of healthy food and well-being.
