We collaborate on:
We collaborate on various initiatives that emphasize ecological sustainability, empowerment, and rights for marginalized communities.
These include:
Integrated Farming
We work towards poison-free food production, promoting ecological biodiversity, economic sustainability, and empowerment of farming communities for a healthier life. This effort is in collaboration with agriculturists, government bodies, NGOs, civil society organizations, and other key stakeholders.
Student Environmental Groups
We engage with student environmental groups (e.g., National Green Corps/Eco Clubs) across schools in the Trichy District to foster clean and green lifestyles. These initiatives include pollution-free air and water campaigns, recycling programs, and increasing green cover through tree planting, with projects such as “Our Earth-Our Future.”
Empowerment of Differently-Abled Persons
Through community-based rehabilitation (CBR) and institutional approaches (where necessary), we support physically disabled and mentally challenged individuals. This includes inclusive education, home-based therapy, medical treatment, provision of aids and appliances, income-generating enterprises, and rights advocacy in collaboration with government agencies and NGOs. Disabled people’s organizations drive rights campaigns, advocacy, and lobbying for the physically disabled and mentally ill.
Children’s Empowerment and Development
Under the Joy to Children Program (AEM) and through VOICE Trust, we focus on the integrated development of children in need and at risk. Additionally, we support the technical education of rural adolescents. Since AEM withdrew support in 2017, VOICE Trust has actively sought alternative agencies and individuals to sustain these children’s homes and youth skills programs.
People’s Organizations and Self-Help Groups (SHGs)
We collaborate with SHGs comprising women, farmers, agricultural workers, unorganized laborers, and differently-abled individuals. Programs focus on addressing the challenges of mentally and physically disabled people, targeting personality development, economic empowerment, family and community improvements, and rights action for integrated development. We are committed to serving all disadvantaged individuals without discrimination, emphasizing both rights and responsibilities.
Support for Widows, Destitute, and Terminally Ill
We work to emancipate affected widows, destitute individuals, displaced persons, the elderly, and terminally ill persons (such as those afflicted by HIV/AIDS). Our interventions are in collaboration with relevant government departments, NGOs, and civil society organizations.
