Infant Jesus Home cum School is the first project started by Depressed People’s Welfare
Association on 5th June 1989 with 61 students in order to provide secondary school education to
the poor children, the children of landless agricultural laborer families and the children of Dalit
families and orphan children of the surrounding villages. Infant Jesus School is situated in
Sembarai Vinayagapuram, a rural interior economically and educationally backward village, 12
kilometers away from Lalgudi, a small taluk town in Trichirapalli District of Tamilnadu.
Thanks to our well wishers and friends, we were able to have the infrastructures for the school
one by one with their donations and generous contributions. We have class rooms for all
children, a meeting hall, a science laboratory, computer lab and a library for effective learning of
the children.
Infant Jesus School has been very prompt in providing quality education since its inception. The
school had gradually developed with good academic results in the past 20 years of its service. At
present there are 1060 children in the school in the age group of 11 years to 16 years having
secondary and higher secondary education from 6 grade to 12 grade. Out of 1060 children, 450
children belong to fatherless, motherless, the landless agricultural landless laborer families, poor
and Dalit families and neglected children stay in the school as boarders and the remaining
children are attending to school as day scholars from the surrounding villages.

water facility available at the school premises; sometimes they walk to the nearby open wells
and agricultural channels to have bathing and washing.

which are not enough to all the children. Many children use open toilets in the morning and
evening times which may be dangerous to the children.

room. They use the same class rooms for living which affects the happy and joyful living of the

We had agricultural 40 acres of lands owning to Infant Jesus School,-and we had sold 10 acres
for an amount of Rs.25,00,000/- for the initial basement of the construction of the two floor
building and other toilet blocks and bathing yards. We have applied to many donor agencies for
assistance for this our project but we have not availed any funding from any organization so far.
We had availed a bank loan of Rs.30,00,000 and the same we have spent on the construction.
We will pay the bank loans without much difficulty in 5 years from the agricultural income.
We fall short a deficit amount of 20,00,000 Hence we most humbly request your good
organization to help us with the short fall amount to complete construct a two floor building,
toilets and bathing yards with water facilities for the benefit of the children of poor, fatherless,
motherless, neglected and orphan children and landless agricultural families.
WE MOST HUMBLY REQUEST YOU HELP US WITH US DOLLARS 40000 FOR THE
