1950 s onwards Knanites from different areas of Kerala migrated to Kuwait in search of job. Though they were few in number they uphold the precious and valuable traditions and beliefs of Knanaya community and later the like minded people come together and formed an association named Kuwait Knanaya Cultural Congress (KKCC).Under the banner of KKCC regular prayer meeting, periodical get together and other social and charitable activities were being organized and the association was flourished year after year with the support of members and the encouraging leadership of H.G.Mor Clemis Abraham ,the Chief Metropolitan of the East.
