KAPAAS (Kameshwar, Annapoorna, Prasad, Aditya, Aakash, Sirisha)
The Spirit Behind KAPAAS
KAPAAS (Kapās — cotton) is a heartfelt philanthropic initiative through which we aspire to “Weave Hopes” into people’s lives. Just as each cotton thread contributes to the strength of a fabric, we believe that every act of hope and kindness can be woven into a brighter, more inclusive future.
This program is launched in loving memory of my father, Late Shri. G.K.
Sharma, on the 1st anniversary of his passing 22 Apr 2025 (as per Telugu calendar). A man of compassion, generosity, and deep-rooted belief in the power of community, his legacy continues to inspire us every day.
KAPAAS (Kameshwar, Annapoorna, Prasad, Aditya, Aakash,
Sirisha) is more than a program — it is a tribute, a promise, and a purpose:
• To carry forward his spirit by empowering those who need it the most, starting with the blind girls who deserve equal light in life.
