Our Programs
Jeevakkal Integrated Complex of Special Homes for Senior Citizen and Destitued Children
Jeevakkal Integrated Home was inaugurated by the Honorable Chief Minister of Tamilnadu, Selvi. J. Jayalalitha
in September 2012. The Home is an abode for Destitute Children aged between 5
and 18 years, and helpless elderly persons aged above 60 years. The strength of
the Integrated Home is 50 persons, of which 25 are children and 25 are aged
persons. All the children are either single parented or unable to be cared at
homes, owing to familial problems. Our elderly are rarely visited from their
homes and this complex is a haven for them.
The Department of Social
Welfare and Nutritious Meal Programme is the supporting agency for this Home.
Jeevakkal Mentally Ill Home
Jeevakkal Mentally Ill Home has been functioning since August 2014.
The home is an abode for mentally ill persons who are found wandering in the
streets, and left unattended at homes. Such persons are admitted free of cost,
and administered regular health check up, food, medicine, clothing and shelter. There are 52 female and inmates
in the Mentally Ill Home.
Residential Special Training Centre
Jeevakkal has been conducting Residential Special Training Centre for school dropout
children aged below 14 years. We provided safe residency, food, clothing and
other educational materials to these beneficiaries. The main aim of this
programme is to enroll the children according to the age through SSA scheme and
provide one year special training, and enroll these children in formal
educational Institution as their need of priority.
Jeavakkal TANSACS - TI (FSW) Project
In collaboration with the Tamil
Nadu AIDS Control Society, the Jeevakkal Society is working with women sex workers in Srivilliputhur, Sivakasi, Rajapalayam, Vembakkottai
and Watrap Panchayat Unions.
Most
of the women work in the Match Boxes industries and fireworks factories. They
work as farm labourers. Working in these industries is physically and
psychologically challenging and the income is also very low. Hence, they are
forced to look for alternative jobs of supplementary income sources. Most women
engage in sex work due to their family circumstances. Approximately 500 women
were identified as female sex workers from these five unions in Virudhunagar
district.
