Building for ATMA Gurukulam Girls' Home

For millions of children, a safe home is a distant dream!

Poverty, alcoholism, drug abuse, and a host of other issues in the family make them victims of abuse and neglect.

These children need safety, security and a chance at normal life. They need not just food and shelter, but also an encouraging and enriching environment to be their best.

The ATMA Gurukulam, started in 2011, is a safe home for children in need.

The focus is on their education and overall development. At ATMA Gurukulam, they are given the love and security of a real home, the inspiration to dream, and opportunities to achieve them.

We envision their transformation into responsible and responsive leaders in their chosen fields.

Apart from regular schooling, the children are given –

• Mentoring by professionals & trained volunteers

• Learning opportunities in arts & sports

• Leadership Training & Value Education

The ATMA Gurukulam is recognised by the Board of Control for Orphanages and Other Charitable Homes, Kerala (Reg no. 2289).

We are now taking up the responsibility to build homes to support at least 150 children, both boys and girls.

So far, within the limited infrastructure, we have changed the lives of 29 girls.

Our children have responded wonderfully to our care; some by emerging as school toppers and sports champions, some by winning scholarships for art education, and some by securing admissions to respectable professional courses. Each one of them is well appreciated by teachers and peers for their leadership skills and their spontaneity in helping others.

Your support will help us create a greater impact.

We have the readiness, the know-how and the volunteer resources. What we need is financial support to build the homes, so that more children can be helped.
