MADURAI SEED is now doing three most essential programs through education centers, library, and sponsorships to support the children and young people of deprived socio economic background.

Present Needs: 1

First and foremost, MADURAI SEED's main goal is to ensure its sustained service. Asha helps MADURAI SEED with rent and electricity for the centers and honorarium for the volunteers. This budget corresponds to approximately CHF 2,000 or 1700 USD per month. Asha financially aid this budget with 685 USD per month. If you wish to support MADURAI SEED in these programs, you can contact Dr. Melli Annamalai (Seed Narpanigal Project Steward) Supporters in India can make a cheque or currency in the name of MADURAI SEED.

Present Needs: 2

Many of MADURAI SEED's projects have yet to be realized. So far, lack of funding has made this impossible. MADURAI SEED hopes for supporters to implement these projects. Abroad donors can contact Dr. Laura Villiger (President, FRIENDS OF MADURAI SEED, Zurich) Indian supporters can contact MADURAI SEED directly.

• At present, MADURAI SEED has one dedicated classroom, in addition to the library (used exclusively for quiet study). All other classes are regularly held on the rooftops of neighbors' private dwellings for rental basis. That is not guaranteed. MADURAI SEED is hoping to build its own centers. It will house the five different educational centers, as well as an office and meeting hall. Rather than in the middle of Karumbalai, it will be situated at its margins, thus offering not just more space but also more quiet, for the children and youngsters to study optimally.
• An own building for library, librarian, racks and more books.
• Professionalizing MADURAI SEED;
• Providing the means for a local external advisor;
• Networking and collaborating with similar NGOs in India;
• English coaching and teacher training for volunteers;
• Developing and hosting the MADURAI SEED homepage
