“SANTHOSH NIVAS TRUST” the happy home established as children’s shelter with great enthusiasm and vision to support bringing up and educating helpless girl children and making them self-reliant.SNT is located in Udumalpet, in Chellamuthu street near government girls higher secondary school, Dhali road in Tirupur district.This home was started initially with 4 orphaned/semi orphaned girl children. And currently after completing a decade the shelter now supports 18 children. SNT foster these children taking care of their basic needs by providing them education, good nutritious food, good clothing and overall providing them a secure place to stay with loving utmost care by attending to their needs personally to ensure that they are in no way exposed to hardship. We have no house-maiden, staff, warden or assistant instead these children are taken direct care by the managing trustee who voluntarily became mother to own responsibility for children to clothe, feed, cry and laugh with our children. We care for children just like you would for your own.They grow up in the home from any stage or age to the x or xII standard; till they join professional courses or get married.Santhosh home therefore nurtures them at its cost till they are finally settled. They can also be reunited with their family.

We go to the particular village from where we get informations and select children from the most below poverty line families. Children who have been neglected, poor, and downtrodden and orphaned by HIV/AIDS also. All the placements were for various reaons made by parents. We admit children with direct participation by a parent or guardian. These children are here for a chance to live safely and have an opportunity to succeed and achieve.

At present we are living in a home rented (for rupees 5000 per month) with a small hall which is our home for everything, sleeping, dining, studying, praying, playing etc. The children do not have a place for playing and we have also a kitchen without storeroom. We have a single toilet and bathroom which is also not enough.Books consisting of stories, comics, health and hygiene and DVD, CD of devotional songs are maintained and to encourage the sports children are provided with skipping, caramboard, chess and balls.Personal health and hygiene of each child is taken care of regularly.

1. A new home with all facilities. We are planning to construct a building. The structure should be atleast 1,500 square feet of an area at a cost of 25 lakhs. We need to go in for a two floors where the first floor could be used to study and pray. And the second floor as bedroom. This is our master plan god willing.

2. At present our children are going to the school by van and we are paying rupees 5000 per month. We need a School van for transportation of santhosh home children from school to home and vice versa.

3. Book, shelves, water filter and computers.

In this connection we request you to kindly join us as one of the valuable beneficiaries to bring up these children who are neglected by their parents.
