Reachout
is a government registered Charitable Trust led by a team of seven
women in India. This is mainly based in Chennai, a metropolitan city
in Southern India. It was founded on 6th September 2002. This Charitable
Trust has been conceived with the main notion of helping the urban
poor.
After much research we realized that many people are prejudiced
against the people living in the slums of the city. They feel that
as most of these people work as domestic servants, laborers, painters
etc. they earn enough money to take care of their needs. But the
real truth is that they are spending what ever they earn in a lifetime
for either a marriage or a surgery for their loved ones. To meet
these expenses they go to unscrupulous moneylenders who fleece them
of their money with astonishing rates of interest. Besides repaying
these loans, what remaining money they are left with helps them
to lead a hand to mouth existence.
It
is here that Reachout helps to make lives easier for them. This
organization has various plans to help them out like financial assistance,
free educational backup with literacy campaigns, health care etc.
If this sect of people is given some kind of assistance they will
very easily climb up the social ladder, which in turn will improve
the economy of our country. Besides, once their life styles improve
they will be more than willing to extend a hand to those below them.Reachout
appeals to one and all to make this possible. Much as we seek the
financial assistance of the public, we would appreciate if you would
volunteer to work along with us. Those interested can contact any
