J.K. Cement Limited · Brilliantly Dyslexic
Yes — worth a call this week. New initiative, announced within the window.
JKC Foundation, the philanthropic arm of J.K. Cement Limited, has launched 'Brilliantly Dyslexic', an initiative focused on dyslexia awareness and support from schooling through to workplaces. In partnership with Orkids Foundation, the five-year initiative aims to reach 1 million individuals across India through campaigns, early screening, and outreach programmes.
While the initiative targets inclusive education and transitions into workplaces, it currently has an existing primary partner (Orkids Foundation) and does not solicit open NGO applications. However, Ananya's education NGO could track the programme's skilling and workplace-readiness aspects for neurodivergent youth for potential future collaboration.
Works with NGOs; no open call stated. The article states that JKC Foundation is partnering with Orkids Foundation, but does not invite or solicit applications from new implementation partners.
Monitor J.K. Cement's CSR communications and Orkids Foundation updates to observe if regional implementation partners or vocational skilling partnerships are sought as the initiative scales.
“Over the course of 5 years the initiative aims to reach 1 million individuals through various campaigns and outreach programmes.”
“To address this gap, JKC Foundation, the philanthropic arm of J.K. Cement Limited, announces the launch of ‘Brilliantly Dyslexic’.”
“To help build and advance the initiative, JKC Foundation is partnering with Orkids Foundation, bringing a collaborative approach to strengthening awareness and support for individuals with dyslexia.”
