OUR ACTIVITIES
CHILD RIGHTS AND WELFARE
Street, slum, and children of the deprived section are miles away from their basic requirements as to education, health, nutrition, happiness. Sometimes, these children lead their life to waste by getting involved in wrongdoings as theft, begging, prostitution, addiction to meet their basic requirements. Eethalai Aram Foundation is determined to bring them in the mainstream of society. The organization is starting quality education school for the educational development of these children. The children are not only educated but also learn discipline, life skills and rights. Additionally, Eethalai Aram Foundation also provide new clothes, nutritious food, toys, study material to slum and street children from time to time. The objective of Eethalai Aram Foundation is that these children may be able to find and live a better life and lay the foundation of a bright future by leaving wrongdoings.
WOMEN EMPOWERMENT
Delivering multiple roles effortlessly every single day, women are undoubtedly the backbone of any society. Doting daughters, caring mothers, competent colleagues and a wide range of many other roles are played by women around us flawlessly and with grace. However, they’ve also been an ignored fraction of the society in many parts of the world. This, in turn, has caused women at large to bear the brunt of inequality, oppression, financial dependability and other social evils. For centuries now, women have been living under the bondage that restricts them from achieving professional as well as personal heights. Through Eethalai Aram Foubndation women-empowerment programs, women across India and many other countries have been able to gain financial freedom and stand up against social injustice. They’ve also become agents of change by educating and empowering other women about finding their voice and standing up for themselves. Eethalai Aram Foundation empowerment of women programs is a catalyst that has unsettled centuries of restrictions and given women the much-deserved platform to set themselves free and rise as equals.
CHILDREN EDUCATION
We are committed to ensuring that all children, irrespective of their origin, are able to go to school, play, interact and learn with other children of their age. We help children with limited means hone their creativity and skills under the guidance of trained teachers and make persistent efforts to enable them to secure a life of dignity for themselves, their families and the community at large. In Karaikudi, in rural slums and city slum, Pass runs programs to support the education of the most disadvantaged children of India in different ways.
SKILL DEVELOPMENT TRAININGS
Economically disadvantaged women in villages and urban slums lack education and employable skills; they migrate to cities in search of low-skill jobs. Eethalai Aram Foundation has conducted a baseline survey to identify skills needed in the job market and has developed training programs for women and adolescent girls to stop them from leaving homes for bigger cities.
HEALTH AWARENESS
Eethalai Aram Foundation operates with the commitment to health for all. Organizing various health camps at regular intervals are targeted towards providing health solutions. These health camps impart health education and sensitize the community on preventive and promotive health grounds. These camps are aimed at generating awareness, diagnosis, and treatment of numerous health hazards. Specialized health camps are organized for Eyecare, TB, Malaria, Anemia, Dengue, and Diarrhea, Worm infestation, Skin infections, and diseases.
SEWING TRAINING CENTRE
Eethalai Aram Foundation is planning to start the sewing center in our campus with a donation of two non-electric sewing machines, sewing supplies, textiles and a small stipend for a part-time sewing instructor. The center provides an important supportive environment for the women to meet and when certain skill levels have been achieved, the project provides a sewing machine which can supply the successful trainee with the vitally important independent source of income. Saving and credit schemes have also been implemented and women’s fairs with drama and community activities are organized.
