Child Plan

Child Plan

This project has been initiated in the year 2005 mainly to offer protection to children who are stigmatised and burdened by the fact that they are from families with HIV/AIDS or abandoned children or destitute children. This project provides a home like environment with complete emotional and psychological support besides nurturing the talents within each child. Now we have 22 children at CHILD home who are being supported by financial aid for their education and also being supported in meeting their other basic amenities.

ISAG- "I SUPPORT A GIRL" from 2015

ISAG project is being initiated to improve the children's standard of living by providing financial support for education and also empower them by providing basic amenities in a dignified manner. It is being operated in the areas of Chennai & Tiruvallur. The target population of ISAG project consists of girl children from families with  parents living with HIV/AIDS, commercial sex workers, broken families and destitute children. The living conditions of these children are way below the minimum standards and their basic needs of educational and emotional neds are rarely met. So far, 126 children are being supported by means of this program. This program has been extremely successful in which these girls are doing very well in academics and around 30 of them have already gainfully employed, uplifting their families in the process with our help and are living independently. Currently, 95 girls are currently supported from this project.
