Tribe people are living in remote of Sirumalai Hills (Tholukadu, Thalakarai, Velampannai, Kannadiparai, Paliyankadu and Kodairoad area), Dindigul district Tamilnadu. The areas are inaccessible because of no roads and wild animals. No school/crèche within 14 km radius. They do not have the means to provide even one meal a day to their family. They hunt and eat roots for survival. The children were starving and had no access to food, education or health care.

EDUCATIONAL MATERIAL SUPPORT PROGRAMME
This programme is ongoing in that 3000 children of widows and poor. 1000 children with HIV/AIDS or disabled or children of PLWHA parents. In the burden of life and so many exploitation on widows/destitute women life with children exist after their husband left. So the children education is under risk due to poverty and needs of the children’s earning.


Similarly the children of HIV/AIDS parents are under risk and problems. In other cases, few of them (children) are with PLWHA and studying with poverty and needs of health support. So, ROSI FOUNDATION is supporting the widows/destitute children and PLWHA’s children for their education materials and other educational needs. Further children with HIV/AIDS are supported for education materials, health and nutrias, cloth, etc.

SKILL TRAINING ON COMPUTER
Dalit girls belonging to very poor family, completed HSC but they could not continue higher education due to the poverty. Their families are under poverty line because the family is surviving on meagre earnings of the parents by agricultural coolie work. They requested to be enrolled in computer training on DCA (Diploma in computer application). We offered the support to her in a computer centre. The full amount of fee of the course has been paid. They are encouraged on employment and self employment after the training completed successfully.

TAILORING TRAINING :The poor girl children of Pudukkottai district, Nagapattinam District and Sivagangai district in Tamilnadu are mostly school dropouts. Most of them engaged in labour work in quarries, bricks kilns, gem cutting, loading and unloading (lorry), salt and fish processing. The laborious work is affecting them physically and stealing their childhood. Few of them are become into sex trade victims. The girls are underwent the skill training on tailoring and garment making conducted.
