About
Family Support program - the main project under Kirubai Project In the context of widespread poverty and a dwindling family system, many single Read more mothers who had lost their husbands to alcohol, accident related deaths etc. started seeking shelter for their children in various children's homes that were meant for those children with absolutely no kith and kin whatsoever. The same occurred with a home under the Kirubai Project, where these mothers were willing to abandon their rights of parenthood and place their children in this home in order for their children to receive good education and a decent quality of life. This moved the heart of the leaders of the project although they refused to institutionalize such children and the program began in the year 2002. Support was provided to such families to assist them in paying educational related costs like school fees, books, etc. as well as medical costs for the children. Over a span of 18 years, the Family Support Program has had coverage of nearly 200+ children thereby touching the lives of close to 100+ families. By 2020, 20 children who came from families where the highest level of education was 7th standard finished their 12th standard. We have had success stories of children from the program who went on to work for Big IT giants in the city as well. One of the earmarks of Family Support Program is that we are working hard to uplift and empower women, several of the single mothers from the program are currently being trained as social workers themselves!
