Cochin Social Service Society stands for poor and deprived people of the country. KLM and KUFF is the program aimed at protecting fishermen and oceans. KUFF (Kerala United Fishermen Forum) aimed at protecting fishermen inhabiting both the coastal slums and islands. Through this program the unorganized and exploited inland women fish workers have been brought under organization frame work with self help groups formed at the base and KUFF as federative setup. An outstanding achievement in this respect could be highlighted to be legitimization of scattered inland fish workers under allied category of fish workers and their enrollment under the provision of statutory welfare fund operated through MATSYFED, a government undertaking.
Mangroves cultivation is one of the main project done through KUFF by the NGO for the protection of the ocean. Other than that giving awareness to prevent plastic from entering the environment. Nearly half of the plastic waste flows into the ocean through the river. So we also give awareness on dumping waste into the river.
