CHILD CARE MINISTRY
‘This Institution was founded on Faith, Hope & Love’
Child Care is the most important feature of this Institution. Since its inception, it has been the policy of the institution to put the child in the center of all its activities. It is said that a child is a lamp to be lit and not a vessel to be filled. They are the future of our country.
Until 2005, the children were kept in Happy Home buildings. But due to shortage of space, they are now kept in different Hostels and Homes. The entire cost is borne by this Institution.
The main aim of this institution is to relieve the human sufferings of some of the poor, neglected and destitute children below poverty line irrespective of caste, colour, creed and religion. This institution is working very hard to provide some children with good education and help these children to reach certain standards in the society. This institution is very committed to prevent child labour and provide them with the basic education.
Preference is being given to orphans, neglected, semi-orphans and to children from broken families. Orphan children are taken care until they get married. Each and every child is given good education and this institution takes care till they are well settled in their life.
All the parents are very poor and struggle to lead their life with very poor wages. Most of them are not having even a small hut to live.
This year there are 65 children (13 boys and 52 girls) under our care in various Homes.
Apart from giving them free food, clothing, accommodation and good education, we build their character and mould them in such a way, so that they may become good citizens of India.
We celebrate each child’s birthday in a grand manner.
Till date, 875 children have successfully finished their studies.
SCHOLARSHIPS
Until now, 533 children were given scholarships for their education. Scholarships are issued according to the funds available. This scheme is introduced to give a helping hand to unprivileged children who are not able to continue their studies due to financial shortages. This year 70 children are benefited by this scheme.
HIGHER EDUCATIONS
Due to financial shortage, many children fail to pursue higher education. Education becomes fulfilled when a child gets training in a specific field. It is half the way when they stop their studies after High School. Hence, our institution strives hard to provide these unfortunate children with this higher studies, by providing them with the necessary financial help.
COLLEGE STUDIES
The successful children who successfully secured 70% and above in the junior college are sent to colleges for a three-year course, after which they hold a University Degree. The college fees are paid over a period of 6 semesters. Now thirteen children are studying in various colleges.
NURSING COURSES
Majority of our girls prefer going for the nursing training. The girls who secure 60% and above in the junior college examination are sent for this training. First, they start with Assistant Nursing and Midwifery training for one year. The girls, who pass this course, will continue the three-year General Nursing Course at Coimbatore. All the girls who finished this training are now working in different Hospitals and getting a good salary. This year nine of our girls are undergoing nursing training. It is not only a training, but also a dedication to serve the community.
INDUSTRIAL TRAINING
The boys who secure 60% and above in the junior college are given a chance to go for any one of the Industrial Trainings like; Motor Mechanic, Fitter, Welder, Printing, Carpentry, Polytechnic etc.. These are two-year courses. After which, they hold a diploma in Technical Training. Hundreds of our boys have finished these courses and are well settled in many Industries. This year seven of our boys are getting trained in these trades.

Most of our children are from remote villages, estates and forests; they have never seen even a town. To show them the civilized world and to improve their knowledge, we take them on an educational tour to important places and cities every year. It is an eye opener for them.
Apart from this financial help, we offer them our love and care that has led many children to perform well in their studies. Every year some of these children receive prizes and trophies for their good performances. We are very proud of all those children who have added feathers in our cap. Our children have stood ahead of others in their field.
We also accept with a heavy heart that, there are a few children who have dropped out from this smooth channel.
