Touched the lives of 50 families

Dedicated to creating self-help groups (SHG) within the Gypsy community, Project Go Gypsy helps generate income for themselves and their families. Arise and Serve supports them with raw materials for their traditional jewellery making. In addition, our team supports them in exhibiting their work through sales stalls in gated communities and malls.

Go Gypsy has touched the lives of 50 families in 2022. In 2023 we aim to create a sustained income for the families by expanding their production and improving their sales prospects by moving their products to e-commerce sites. You can help by supporting us by contributing towards the raw materials for the SHGs or you can support by buying their products.

Touched the lives of 80 children

Project Minimiracles

Dedicated to working towards the right to education of the nomadic, Nari Kuravar and Irular children, Project Minimiracles aims to ignite young minds. We believe that education is not a privilege and no child should be deprived of learning.

Minimiracles has touched the lives of 80 nomadic children as of 2022. We enabled this through tie-ups with government, private and residential schools as day scholars and residential scholars. We also give counselling to the kids, their families and the teachers handling them, so as to ease their experience. The children are also trained in various arts and martial arts to give them an equal opportunity to a holistic education. Children in their pre teens and teens are made to appear for their SSLC exams and in addition are given skill based training: candle making, soap making and terrarium making to create a source of income.

In 2023 we are working towards providing not just basic education but a holistic education for all our kids. Enabled through local volunteer programs and government school tie-ups we are in the process of creating dedicated learning centres. We are also bringing in foreign exchange volunteers to teach our day scholars and residential scholars.
