Valarkuzhanthai Trust Geographical Location
The head office of Valarkuzhanthai Trust is situated in Madurai, a historical city, traditionally renewed for cultural music (Carnatic), dance (Bharadhanattiyam), art, sculpture and Tamil (local vernacular) literature.
The Local Social Fabric
The primary occupation of the local people is agriculture. They cultivate Paddy, Maize, Sugarcane and Coconut during the year. Social values are centredon patriarchal eminence, prearranged marriage, joint-family, and village council. The average rural literacy rate is 56%. Superstitious practices due to lack of proper information, and prevalent poverty due to agricultural misfortunes are the basis for most of the social evils – social segregation of women, family indebtedness promoting mass migration from traditional homeland to urban centers, female infanticide, physical abuse of women and children by male chauvinists, and lack of healthy and conducive environment for the children.
Origin
Valarkuzhanthai Trust was founded in 2015. Since its inception the idea of serving the poorest of the poor was the main thrust of the organization. The Zeal is represented through our eagerness and enthusiasm that help in actions while serving the poor. To activate our service to the poor, Faith and Zeal have to go together. Education and the community developmental service are two main thrusts of our organization.
Context
The extensive services of Valarkuzhanthai Trust bear witness to the consistent involvement, the organization has had with the society. There are still many more sections of the society which need to be catered to. We continue our involvement hoping to create a social ambiance in which human persons will be treated with justice and equality.
