Development Of Village Education (DOVE) is an NGO implementing development Projects in Tamil Nadu, India for the past 25 years. The Prime activities are children's education, children's homes, Healthcare and Women's Empowerment. It is administered by a 7 member Board looking after the Administration and field activities. There are 14 staff and Volunteers to take up community activities. The area is typical and rural with villages and Hamlets clustered around. The people are mainly daily wage earners leading a hard life to maintain family expenses with children and old age people to look after. Their income is hardly enough to spend on their children's education, food and medical expenses.
Help needed to support DOVE Children's Home:
We are running DOVE Children's Home for the past 25 years with an intake of 120 girl children in the age group of 6 to 17. They are from class 1 to class 12. The Children are from marginalized families in no way supported by their parents for their education. Hence DOVE Children's Home admit them and give them proper food, shelter and quality education. After they complete class 12 they are admitted in colleges for higher courses. Thus a child is fully grown up in DOVE Home till they complete college studies. The Home is run on public donation and Board Members contribution.
Currently we are direly in need of financial support to run the Home for taking care of these children. Hence we would like to raise funds through this fund raiser at the time of year end giving from kind philanthropists. The financial support we would like to raise for the upkeep of the DOVE Home is to the tune of 20418 USD which would support the Home comfortable for the next 6 months.
