Adoption of an Urban Slum

Kamarajapuram:

Kamarajapuram is a small urban slum located in the heart of the city at T.Nagar. It has a dwelling of eighteen huts, closely built with narrow passages between one group and the other. Many a time their huts have been burnt down due to various reasons like electrical short circuits, fire accidents during Diwali etc. The people residing here are unable to rush out through these narrow passages and therefore suffer severe burn injuries. Besides this, they barely have any shelter from the
rains during the Monsoon season. The rainwater not only floods their house but also seeps through their thatched roofs.In an attempt to protect them from these problems Reachout, which has adopted these group of huts, plans to provide them with the required roof over their heads.

Our Vision:

One of the dreams of Reachout is to improve the overall life styles of the people living in these huts. In order to achieve this we plan to take the following steps.

To change the thatched roofs into tiles. To send the dropouts back to school by taking up their educational expenses. To provide tuitions for children as a back up for their school education. To help the women living there become literate. Conduct health camps to make them aware of their basic illness like diabetes, Blood pressure etc. To identify and provide the source of livelihood for the hardworking and deserving people To provide higher education for deserving candidates.
