In collaboration with the Department of Social Defense, our vocational training program addresses the critical issue of children in conflict with the law. These young individuals, often at high risk of reoffending, are given an opportunity to learn essential life skills.

Through intensive training in bakery and other life skills, we provide a path for these individuals to reintegrate into society as self-sustaining, productive citizens. A noteworthy achievement is the successful transition of 15 participants to lives filled with respect and self-sufficiency.

​

Projects in Action:

 

1. Observation Home Boys (Kelly's Purasaiwalkam):

  • Focused on positively impacting the lives of boys in the observation home.

  • Training in bakery equips them with a valuable skill set, enabling employment opportunities and potential entrepreneurship ventures in the future.

​

2. Children Special Home (Chengalpattu):

  • Extending our initiatives to the special home in Chengalpattu.

  • Skills training provides these children with the tools they need to reintegrate into society, significantly lowering the risk of reoffending.

​

Through these targeted programs, we aim to break the cycle of recidivism, offering a chance at a brighter, more promising future for these young individuals. Join us in this journey of transformation and empowerment!
