Project Description
The goal of this project is to help the Irula children become part of mainstream schooling system with the aid of motivational centres. About 530 children (between the ages 5-15) are expected to benefit. Our hope is that after 3 years most of these children will start attending government schools.
Purpose / Goals
Facilitate Irula children to go to regular school. We are also considering starting vocational training to provide the Irula community with better alternatives to existing means of livelihood.
Organization Description
Bharathi Trust is a non-profit development organisation working for the cause of upliftment and empowerment of Irula Tribal communities living in the interior pockets of Thiruvallur district.
Since 1990, it has been working among the Irula communities in more than 60 villages spreading over 5 Taluks of the District. It has been conducting a number of development programmes such as Sangam formation, awareness camps, liason work with government for obtaining development schemes, day care services, motivation centres for eradication of child labour. etc
