 In the year 2004 we were exposed to the pysical,emotional,mental and spiritual needs of the underprivileged people of the neighbouring communities around the Sangita premises. The needs of these people both young and old seemed to be great. It was very hard to accept that the people were not aware of many bare basic things in life towards physical and emotional wellbeing. The main reasons being poverty combined with lack of awareness. We became very uncomfortable to realise that these communities existed barely within a 50 kms radius to the cosmopolitan post modern Chennai.
 Our study into the needs of these underprivileged communities resulted in serving and educating the youth and the children on the right values of life that many of our leaders have left behind. Only this could slowly in the long run transform the communities by producing great value based people.
Nevertheless our focus zeroed into the immediate needs of the poor old widows. The widows needed food, medicines, medical support and emotional and mental encouragemet along with immediate teaching and guidence. We realised that the already existing work among the underprivileged children through the orphanage had been a great success story BUT the old widows who are at the very end of their life needed immediate attention and we could not delay this process of serving them.
 This great challenge led us to start a program for the widows every month by providing them with food supplies and vitamins. Need based programs like medical clinics and eye camps for the villagers and programs on value based teachings through sports for the youth and children became a regular feature as part of the community transformation program.
Vision for the underprivileged Villages
 There are about 14 villages in our area that are very backward and poor in condition. The people there are very poor and uneducated. Our vision is to adopt these villages and provide them with the basic necessities for a good living and to take care of thier children who are not educated, the elderly who are neglected, the destitute women and the widows and the youth who need direction in thier life.
We need your prayers and support to make this vision practically possible. Click here to know more on donation options.
