Challenges of SIRAGU - At present in a deep financial crisis
With more struggles, manage to feed the hostel children of Siragu,
treat them with natural medicines, managing without hostel facility,
difficult to raise funds for monthly expenses, payment of salaries,
maintenance of vehicles, etc.
Need: Provisions n groceries, educational materials, financial support
to meet out monthly overhead, to develop infrastructure facilities, to
renovate older buildings, to build new class rooms, etc.
Challenges of Bharatha Matha Nursery & Primary School
- Here except some students, rest of the students pay nominal fees,
fees income not substantiate the monthly needs but helpful.
- construction of 1st floor & 2nd floor is in progress. A major amount
of loan already taken to proceed with construction and a bank loan
applied for construction and buy the property.
Why we need to buy the property and go for construction
- Presently suyam located in a rented building. Office, tailoring
unit, short stay home, and inmates stay. All facilitated in 3 floors
taken on rent. Now the house owner told to vacate as he already sold
the property. Same area if rented in another locality needs to pay
35000 as rent. Hence, plan to buy the property and construct 2 floors
and take additional few rooms on rent to manage situation and pay the
bank monthly EMI.
Need: Educational materials, storage cabinets, mineral water plant,
stationeries, class rooms' needs, maintenance equipments & financial
support to pay the loan, meet the monthly expenses.
Other projects
- receiving partial funding from donors, rest of the expenses managed
with struggle
