School Students - “Keep Children in School”
Due to the ongoing economic crisis, many children in our country are at risk of dropping out of school because of poverty.
By supporting students who are preparing for key public exams such as G.C.E. Ordinary Level (O/L) and Advanced Level (A/L), you can ensure they continue their education without interruption.
Your sponsorship of just Rs. 3,500 per month (Rs. 42,000 per year) for two years will keep a child in school and on the path to a brighter future.

Technical/Vocational Students - “Skill & Career Pathways”
Many students who finish school but cannot access university opportunities—or who wish to pursue a career in technical fields—often lose direction due to a lack of proper guidance.
By providing them with basic computer skills, English language classes, life skills, and vocational training, you help them choose the right technical career and unlock their true potential.
Total cost for a three-month training program: Only Rs. 10,000!
Your support can guide a young person onto a life-changing career path.

University Students – “Empower University Dreams”
Many young people gain admission to university but are forced to give up their higher education dreams due to poverty.
Despite extremely challenging family circumstances, these students are determined to continue their studies.
They need your ongoing support—donations to help cover their essential needs and educational expenses.
Support for one university student: Rs. 7,000 per month (Rs. 84,000 per year)
Your generosity will help them pursue their dreams and build a better future.

We are committed to providing nutritious day meals to children and students at Annai Sri Saradha Center, Jeevananda Girls Home, and Nandavanam Elders Home.

By offering balanced meals, we aim to enhance their physical development, concentration, and overall quality of life, fostering a nurturing environment where they can thrive.
It is widely known that a significant proportion of brain development (over 90%) in children occurs before the age of five. Therefore, providing proper nutrition is crucial for establishing a healthy future generation. To address this need, the Sponsor a Meal program has partnered with pre-schools to implement a comprehensive Food and Nutrition scheme.
