Language is one of the strongest connections to culture. As an organization serving the Malayalee community, KAW believes it is important to help children learn and grow in Malayalam, and Akshara Kalari is part of that commitment.
Akshara Kalari operates under KAW Charity and is registered with the Malayalam Mission initiative of the Government of Kerala. The school follows the prescribed syllabus, and students are placed in different levels based on age and proficiency.

Community-led
