Kolli Hills: It is a most backward hills area with 100% tribes population in nearly 300 hamlets. The education is very low. People suffer from poverty, lack of nutrition, sanitation, lack of sufficient health assistance, lack of drinking water, lack of awareness. The children are affected the most.

Chatra (pronounced as chaatra) means student. We have admitted children from the age 10 to 16. The children are extremely poor and mostly father deceased or father is not in position to earn because he is handicapped. In Kolli Hills the tribal children are walking 15 to 23 Kms. everyday. Thus these children are spending lot of time and energy in walking and spoiling their career. There are many who are willing to join. The children who are admitted in this chatralaya are feeling very good and we are happy to see their happiness and growth. In 2004 there were 50 children, studied in the nearby government school In 2005 there were 74 children, studied in the nearby government school |

We take care of their education from10 years of their age up to their degree or diploma level. This year (2008) we have 50 boys and 60 girls.
Hence invite sponsorship to these children who are with no parents or from tribal families.
For each child we need Rs.20,000 per year.
We still need support for infrastructural needs for these student homes. Anybody or any corporate wishes to help by donating can do so.
Educating a poor child is much much greater than building one thousand Annachatras-free feeding centres.
