OUR BEGINNING

Built on Gratitude, Driven by Commitment

The AKAS Foundation was born from a teacher’s unwavering dedication and the lifelong gratitude of his students.

In 1979, Mr. Kamalanathan, a passionate maths teacher from Atchuvelly, Sri Lanka, started a small tuition centre at his home with just seven students. His mission was simple—to provide quality education and support to children beyond the classroom. Over time, his dedication attracted more students, and by 1992, over 400 children were benefiting from his guidance. However, due to the civil war, the tuition centre was forced to close, and in 1995, Mr. Kamalanathan had to leave Sri Lanka, later settling in Paris in 1996.

His impact, however, lived on. His former students, now spread across the world as successful professionals, entrepreneurs, and leaders, never forgot the teacher who shaped their lives. In 2016, during Mr. Kamalanathan’s 25th wedding anniversary, they came together to honour him, gifting him a fund as a symbol of their appreciation.

Instead of accepting the gift for himself, he initially wanted to donate the money directly to students in Atchuvelly. However, his former students, deeply connected to their village, urged him to start a foundation instead. They expressed their commitment to supporting the children of Atchuvelly and promised to provide funding every year to sustain the initiative. At first, he hesitated, but seeing the love, dedication, and willingness of his former students to give back, he couldn’t say no. With their unwavering support, he founded the AKAS Foundation, ensuring that education in Atchuvelly would thrive for generations to come.

Today, these former students remain the backbone of the foundation, providing financial support to help AKAS continue its mission. Thanks to their generosity and commitment, the foundation has been able to support hundreds of students, ensuring that education remains a reality, not a dream, for the children of Atchuvelly.
