Vanavil will cater to the 57 kids from the Aadiyan community, and 18 children from the narikuravar community. a location near their present habitation has been rented. This will function as a safe space where the kids will be exposed to child friendly education techniques, information about alternative professions otherwise denied them, and help them in entering the education mainstream. The intention is to reaffirm their sense of worth, combat certain social practices in the community like gender disparities, drunkenness and violence.

The location for the centre is available but we direly need funding for everything else and rely on all of you to support us. Attached to this mail is a note about the background of this endeavour and also a detailed budget. We will be very happy if you could either sponsor a specific item in the ‘One-time expenses’ and/or promise a definite monthly sum towards recurring monthly expenses for a duration. Cheques can be made out to “Vanavil trust”.

Vanavil is a registered trust and is totally funded by individual donations. We have received some material donations from NGOs. We at vanavil try to be very austere in the administrative expenditure. We look forward for your support in cash or kind to strengthen this initiative which is an attempt by us to establish a model outside the project funding pattern and to involve as many people as possible in the construction of our children’s dreams
