You Can Help a Child

Let none be like another

Yet each be like the highest

How can that be?

Let each be perfect in himself

Sustainable Rural Development

In order to ensure a sustained food supply for our children we developed agricultural and diary farms at Sholinganallore and Kelambakkam outside the city of Chennai.

We are now able to provide for some of our needs for our children with rice, pulses vegetables, coconuts, and by-products (oil), as well as with fresh milk and milk products from our farms.

In addition to this, we Recycle all waste products from our school at Sholinganallore through our Root-Zone project, which ensures purification of waste water through organic and natural means. This purified water is then used to irrigate our fields.

 Our Root Zone Waste Water Purification Plant (organic, eco-friendly)

 Fresh milk for our little ones

Bio-fuel, Gobar gas (gas generated from cow dung), steam cookers, recycling of waste products from the farms (coconut husks, etc.) help provide an ecofriendly way of cooking the vast quantities to feed our endless hungry mouths.

To meet the demands of our village employees, we began a small creche which has now grown into the Ellen Sharma Memorial Matriculation and Higher Secondary School, Sholinganallore and the Ellen Sharma Primary School, Karaipakkam.

Schemes for the welfare of village women -spirulina culitvation, agriculture and dairy farming, batik and textile printing and baking-all help them become self-sufficient and independent.
