A creative platform called K4 (Kanya Kumari Kalai Koodam) and a Resource Centre - SBLC (Sree Bhagavathi Learning Centre) in Kanyakumari promoted by CCD are fully dedicated facilities to promote creativity among artisans predominantly women for their better livelihood who work from their homestead. Conservation concerns are made aware of and encouraged for practice among the artisans from environmental and sustainable livelihood perspectives view point. Learning of value added resource use / conservation among young students interested in art and craft is promoted by K4 and SBLC in tandem. Market promotion of the creatively value added products is also taken up. Please refer K4 website for some more details on SBLC and K4 (http://www.k4arts.org.in).

CCD desires to make the Kanyakumari program self supportive by seeking first time support from Asha foundation. About 30 % of the management cost is internally generated as of now.
