Family Empowerment and Strengthening Trainings (FEST)
Family is the cornerstone of human connection and society. Family represents a source of strength, support, identity, shaping us into who we are and guiding us through life’s journey. Hence a strong family makes a SAFE FAMILY and a SAFE COMMUNITY.
When a family is broken or when it struggles, the most important impact is seen and the most who suffers is the child.

Feeding and Education Centre (FEED)
Goals of the Program: The FEED Program addresses the educational and nutritional needs of children living in slums, villages, and weaker sections of society and aims to uplift underprivileged children with academic support and nutritious meals.
Educational Support
Many children in slum areas and villages struggle with their studies because their parents are not educated enough to assist them with homework or basic learning. While government initiatives offer free education, dropout rates remain high in these communities. Upon research, many children expressed that a lack of guidance at home discourages them from continuing their studies, leading to school dropouts. This program ensures:
- Teaching children basic concepts and helping them with homework
- Clarifying doubts and reinforcing school learning
- Encouraging children to stay in school and complete their education
Nutritional Support
Malnutrition is a major concern in these areas, where children often consume limited diet and lack of nutrition. The Feeding Program ensures that:
- Children receive nutritious meals that contribute to healthy growth with a well-balanced dinner
- Proper nutrition helps improve children’s overall health and well-being
Holistic care
Value education, leadership development, counselling, encouraging in physical fitness, games and sports are a part of holistic care for each child.
Support and Care
While lot of initiatives and prevention works are planned, equal focus is also laid on caring and supporting the families and children affected due to various issues.
Orphan and education support
Either total orphans or single orphans or children whose parents are separated or divorced and finally parents who are incapable to work due to health issues are eligible for orphan or education support.
Health Care Support
This support is provided to individuals who are in critical medical need, especially those who have no one to care for them and are facing financial difficulties. The primary focus is on elderly, widows or individuals who are unable to work and whose families do not support them. Mostly people with HIV, Leprosy, Cancer, Tuberculosis, who went through surgeries, mental illness etc are supported.
Elderly Care Support
This support is specifically for poor elderly and widows individuals who are living alone without any family or external support. The goal is to ensure they receive the care and assistance they need to live with dignity.
