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.

INSTITUTE FOR EMPLOYABILITY SKILLS

Vocational training center for girl children is meant to help girls impacted by HIV, school dropouts, girls raised by single parents and coming from poor families, girls from destitute background and from generally those coming from lower socio-economic sections.

Social Need

Despite of the best effort to educate every girl child around us, unfortunately the skill enablement is not up to the mark that would make them ready for the job market and empower them with employability skills and help the girls in survival in the most competitive job market today.

There is dire need to fill this gap to enable every student is equipped with the right skills along with the academic qualifications which the current programs of Child Home are already providing with.
