Give us a small helping hand at Maithri
Maithri Educational & Charitable Trust started in 1991 with objective to provide financial assistance for education to meritorious students from the economically weaker or broken households. Financial assistance comprises of school fees, books, notebooks, uniform & shoes.
With a strong will of a differently abled and desire with an empty pocket to help fellow human beings in whatever little way possible, Rajaram Sreedhar started the Trust way back in 1983 as an unregistered endeavour. An old and good friend of the Founder donated Rs 1000 and with this money as the Corpus, the Trust was registered in 1991. The first major donation came a few months later; a donation of Rs 3000 came from a gentleman who was on his way to Saudi Arabia. This was utilised to educate a visually impaired student.
We started with 20 children under our care, now the trust has 90 students whose educational needs are being looked after by our Trust. The beneficiaries are academically good students from poor families. We believe that once a child is given good education, it would serve as good foundation for future life and betterment. So far, more than 250 have been benefited though our Trust, 10 of who are Engineers, well settled in the US and the Middle East.
We have been spreading the ambit of our coverage, hence seeking more funds. We request you to extend donations for sustenance and to endowment plans.
