Project Details & Achievements
  • The 2004 tsunami disrupted the village of Kadalur and left many homeless. As immediate relief measures, AIM for Seva donated food, boats, fishing nets, engines and temporary shelter to the fishing communities.
  • As part of its long term rehabilitation efforts, in 2005, AIM for Seva started a student home. The building was built in an eco-friendly manner by using mud as its core material.
  • Most of the children at this student home come from dysfunctional homes where alcoholic fathers and extreme poverty makes it difficult for them to attend school. AIM for Seva gives such children a better environment to complete their education.
  • Apart from their academics, the children are encouraged to take part in various extra-curricular activities like painting, art and crafts and sports to ensure all round development. Value based education including teachings from the Bhagvad Gita is imparted to help build character of the children and inculcate in them values such honesty and compassion.
  • All students have shown a great improvement in their performance at school and have passed with flying colours. Our progress is now motivating many other children from far away villages to join the student home.
