ANAND CHILDREN’S HOME

 

Introduction

TRY – To Reach You, is a multi purpose social work organization reaching out to the socially, educationally and economically backward sections irrespective of caste, creed and religion. This organization was started as a tribute to a dream. When Anandkumar, a student of the Madras school of social work, died without realizing his ambition to start a welfare organization for the under privileged, his classmates took up the cause.

 

TRY’s primary focus is to provide education for the underprivileged children in the society, priority is given to the children’s of commercial sex worker’s for whom education is a dream.

 

This organization works on a community based method where mother/parents and children are involved. It provides home-shelter care and education to children who are abandoned, neglected or those belonging to broken family, especially children of commercial sex workers. It is expected that through the providing of home-shelter care & education to the child, by itself will not find a permanent solution. But through comprehensive community based program, it is possible to have a direct and positive effect on the well being of the young children.

 

TRY believes in family and community based rehabilitation. TRY does not wish to be a dumping ground for the socially neglected. It is an organization where people come to solve problems and are rehabilitated to join the social mainstream and contribute as useful citizens. Deserted women and the sex workers are given counseling so that they can stop their profession. It also helps them to get a suitable job in various organizations. 

 

Aims & Objectives

 

Ø       To promote the interests and total welfare of all the socially, educationally and economically down people of India irrespective of caste, creed and religion on non-profit basis.

Since TRY was stabilized,

 

Ø       Forty two Families had been given counseling / vocational training and rehabilitated. TRY had helped the women who were indulged as sex-workers to find an alternate profession and thereby lead a normal life. 

 

Ø       More than 85 children from underprivileged community between age group 3 – 10 years, have benefited basic education, shelter and care. More importantly by rehabilitating their mother / parents / family they had been successfully put back into the mainstream of social life as useful citizens.

 

Ø       Because of the good social work background, TRY had also helped several street children, mentally retarded children, physically disabled children by coordinating and working with other organizations & agencies. 

 

 

TRY being a multipurpose organization, it remains with an open heart to accept children who are in need of shelter, health, care and education, without any discrimination whatsoever.

  1. TRY Children’s home is presently running in a monthly rented house at Ramapuram, Chennai.

 

Due to the very nature of hiring a premise, the home keeps moving around along with the children. Thereby putting the children under unnecessary hardships and undue stress. Most of the time even their education gets disturbed. In the past 3 years, the home has shifted 3 times.

 

So, TRY requires an own land. The building constructions can be done in phases as per the donations.

 

A big hall with kitchen & bathrooms can be built as an alternative to the rented house.

 

Estimate for Building a decent home for the children:

 

Total cost (including land & construction)  - Rs: 25 lahks (~52000 USD)

 

 

And building such a home will be possible only with the support and help of you. And people like you. Your generous contribution along with other like minded people’s contribution, will help us build a secure and permanent home for the children.

 

Help us to help these children to become beautiful, bright and bold citizens of this

world.
