About Us
When the fate of tribal dropouts from regular school was hanging in balance in this district Wayanad of Kerala, we formed a charitable trust in the year 2002 and at the same time started this tribal residential school with 42 kids in a thatched shed that has now transformed into big venture housing above 200 plus tribal kids every year but this year it is reduced to 110 due to closure of the school for 2 years owing to covid-19 pandemic. This school campus thus become a secure place for the tribal kids to live & learn with all amenities being provided free of cost for the last 16 years. Then, the conditions here were highly challenging in remote and difficult terrain, poor infrastructure, and poorly developed transport facilities. It was after 7 years we got support from various NGOs & private companies. A group of employees is servicing here at school. We the trust are bringing these poor tribal kids to mainstream society through this noble cause. This year we also started imparting short-term job-oriented training in Wiremen & Plumping and Tailoring & Embroidery exclusively meant for matriculated tribal youths of 18 and above years old. Each batch has having strength of 30 at now.
