About KAPIS

KAPIS, established in November 2023, is a collaborative initiative that unites professionals, intellectuals, and social activists from Kalkudah. Its primary aim is to foster the development of the regional economy and education by supporting the local community and its students. As of now, KAPIS has successfully enlisted the involvement of 100 professionals. This diverse group includes doctors (including consultants), engineers, lawyers, academics, officials from the Sri Lankan public service, and experts in finance, accounting, agriculture, veterinary science, journalism, and social activism. The organization’s structure encompasses a dedicated website, the KAPIS Members Network System, which is integrated with the KAPIS website, and a WhatsApp group for community interaction. This initiative stands as a potentially transformative force poised to deliver significant advantages to the Kalkudah region and the country.

a.    Fostering Unity across Diverse Sectors: This initiative could serve as a pivotal step in uniting a society currently fragmented along political, regional, and professional lines. It would provide a shared space to address and discuss issues of common concern, fostering a sense of community and shared purpose.

b.    Mentorship and Career Guidance: The community could facilitate connections between leading experts in various fields and university students or recent graduates. This mentorship platform can offer invaluable guidance, assisting in career development both locally and internationally.

c.    Economic Development and Job Creation: Leveraging the collective resources and networks within this community, we can bring together influential individuals capable of mobilizing funds. Such efforts can significantly contribute to job creation, supporting many families and bolstering the regional economy.

d.    Addressing Social Challenges: A long-term action plan can be developed within this community to tackle issues like poverty and moral challenges in the region. This collaborative approach ensures a comprehensive and sustainable strategy.
