DONATE

Educate and empower the children in slums and rural areas of Puducherry and its neighboring districts of Tamil Nadu by offering evening remedial classes, counseling services, awareness, and community-sensitizing programs. The aim of this project is to make the underprivileged become responsible citizens.

Challenge

Children born into poverty are affected by a variety of societal challenges that prevents them from achieving their goals. For example, factors such as unemployment and alcoholism within the family, single parenthood, neglect and abandonment force children to become laborers either during or after school. Illiterate parents can't assist in doing homework, worsening children's disinterest in education. Additionally, limited educational resources, poor infrastructure leave these children behind.

Long-Term Impact

The main goal is to empower and reenergize the children to pursue their dreams. The awareness programs and counseling services will address the childrens' needs holistically. We hope that awareness about oneself and society will help these children to develop a strong personal identity paired with coping and life skills. In addition, we hope that the children take these lessons into their adulthood.
