Revision as of 18:58, 15 November 2008

Organization H.E.L.P. Trust from India (Human Education and Liberation for Poor) was established as an organization in 2004 and addresses the desperate need to save children and youth in the rural unprivileged districts of Tirunelveli and Kanyakumari in Tamil Nadu, South India from prostitution and to give them vocational skills. It works for the development of the rural unprivileged people and is focused on two projects to prevent children and young adults being forced into poverty following the devastation wrought by the tsunami in 2004.

Vision

Underprivileged children and youths should be provided with an opportunity to equip themselves with basic education and also to nurture and develop their latent talents and skills in order to realize their maximum potential. Our emphasis is on providing education not as in a typical classroom, but to give a child a wider canvas of exposure in a socio-cultural environment.

Our aim is to start 20 evening schools in the rural areas of South India by 2010 and to adopt all the less privileged children and provide them with a valuable education that will lead to a better life.

Our Target Group

We are working with children, women and youths who are agricultural or fishing community laborers and Beedi rolling workers of the slums and very remote villages of Tirunelveli & kanyakumari districts of Tamil Nadu, India. We are implementing our projects with the help of local leaders, churches and women and youth groups.

Focus

We aim to educate children and youths, especially girls, and to empower the social, economic and political status of Dalit and other underpriviledged community members.
