AHAVA - India (CDD)

AHAVA Foundation for Development Services is a registered NGO in the south east Indian state Tamil Nadu providing education support and health/hygiene programmes, parent groups, a sewing school and meals/support to senior citizens as well as other emergency aid and support as needs arise in local villages.  AHAVA provide practical, emotional and spiritual support, without any bias of caste, creed or religion.

An extremely grassroots project run by one man, David, and 5 Trustees, their entire yearly budget is approximately £6,000.  In dire need to replace decades old computers, new sewing machines, and erect a shed to keep the children out of the rain and sun, they currently only work with school age children though hope to raise funding to extend financial help to students seeking a college education, as well as developing their own website to continue to spread the news about their work.

Let Yourself Trust prides itself on supporting partners with funding that has an immediate impact on the ground.  Sometimes this means working with start up projects and watching them grow, or projects so small they don't have the time or personnel to create and maintain a public image as they are simply too busy living the work. Brought to our attention by two longtime supporters of LYT, AHAVA is such a project, and we are very happy to support them with a CDD of £6000 to help them continue their vital work.
