HELP Trust conducts informal evening classes and development programs in Tamil Nadu and Maharashtra for children, alongside literacy initiatives for w Read moreomen in underprivileged communities. Historically, 70 out of 100 children discontinued their education by secondary level. Therefore, educational intervention became crucial, especially after the devastating impact of the 2004 Tsunami, which led to a significant decline in educational levels. Initially, 50% of children dropped out before reaching class 5, often ending up as daily wage workers or bonded labourers. Presently, the organisation operates nurseries for children aged 3-5, provide informal evening classes and computer training for school dropouts, and offer literacy programs for women focusing on accounting, basic reading, and writing skills. Its efforts have positively impacted over 1,500 children and supported more than 1,000 families.
