CHILD LABOR / SCHOOL DROP OUT ELIMINATION

Child labor is quite very common in the operational area of Trichy rural. These children many times undergo severe vulnerable situation and are exposed to worst forms of exploitation such as sexual assault, domestic violence, physical violence and verbal abuse. In order to put an end to this social evil, Good Samaritan Trust started Child Labour / Drop Out Elimination School at Kareechampatti.

The St. Little Flower School is run by the Good Samaritan Trust (GST). This school is Situated at Kareechampatti, (GOVT. RECOGNISED 42697/1999) (Manapparai Taluk, Trichy District) a village in South India. There are some Primary schools at Sithanatham, Pillur and Alampattipudur, the nearby villages, which are one-half kms and two-half kilometres away respectively. There is another primary school at Vellivadi, which is 4km away from Kareechampatti. Therefore the village Kareechampatti is neglected. The total population of the village is 1,200 and over half of the teenagers who reside there don’t know how to express their feelings.

The school provides free education to about 45 children and it has also employed 2 teachers and 1 headmaster for efficient coaching. Currently all the expenses were borne by friends and relatives of the Good Samaritan Trust members. God has put the burden and vision to provide the opportunity to become a literate to all the poor and economically downtrodden.

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT

The quality of life of women is so pathetic and their role was always restricted only within the four walls of the house. They did not enjoy any freedom and were totally hidden from the external world. Their rights are violated and are exposed to various types of exploitations. In order to ensure a better quality of life to the women and safe guarding the rights of women.


COMMUNITY BASED CARE FOR SENIOR CITIZENS

Good Samaritan Trust (GST) respects the senior citizens and has promoted community based care and support to the senior citizens. It is providing recreation, mid day meal to 25 such deserving senior citizens. In addition periodic health check up is done once in every 30 days and appropriate medicines to maintain their health is provided at free of cost.
