When you donate…
They study well
We offer free education, study materials, toys, clothing and sports items to help them study well.
They stay healthy
A physically healthy child is ready to endure the future.

What we do for the children
We identify child laborers and help the expansion of the Indian Government’s National Child Labor Project (NCLP).
We help the families of child laborers become self-sufficient by guiding them along the path of income generation. We do this by providing scholarships and covering some expenses. Read more to know how we do this through our women welfare project.
Through our free child literacy centers, we provide education and health supplements to 400 children who are low-caste, orphaned, victims of HIV, physically challenged, and suffer from other mental or physical illnesses.
We provide our services to a public library in Vadaandapattu Village which lies in the center of the Tiruvannamalai district, India. We aid in the maintenance of the library and donate books. We mainly have a collection of free university-level books for underprivileged college students studying Management, Economics, Engineering, the Arts, and Science. University students contribute their books to this library from all over the state. In addition, we provide English skill-building books for adults & children of all ages. Unemployed and job-seeking youth find this library highly useful for developing their soft skills. We are very grateful for all contributions that help us expand our collection of books.
