TORP (Tribal Out-Reach Programme)
There are about 27 scattered villages in Kodaikanal lower Palani hills. The tribes living here are Paliyar and Pulayar. They lead a closed lifestyle in settlements not willing to merge with the larger society. They do not come out of their community for schooling, even where Govt. Schools are located nearby.
The Goodwill organization stretches their hand to reach them by creating awareness among illiterate parents to send their children to the near by primary schools.
TORP provides, to support those children to attend school regularly. They are equipped with books and other educational materials and attend school as day scholars living with their parents.
We are proud to register here that as on today, we reach at least 500 children in this outreach programme. It is economical and effective too!
