Mellow Circle Prathyasha Trust

In its education initiative, the organisation focuses on integrating children into both Government and private schools, emphasizing individual potential. Special daily classes at the home supplement their regular studies. Notably, two senior children achieved impressive scores of 72% and 84% in their 12th standard exams last year, and with ongoing support, they are now pursuing higher education.

To ensure the well-being of children with HIV/AIDS, the organisation focuses on fostering overall health through a holistic approach. It strengthens their immune system with medical treatment, balanced nutrition, rest, exercise, and a positive lifestyle, aiming for an extended and healthy life. The children receive education about HIV/AIDS and healthy eating practices. Regular check-ups, including monthly ART medicine distribution and biannual CD4 count assessments, are conducted in collaboration with the Institute of Child Health and YRG Care. Special camps organised by Dr. S.N. Mothi, a dedicated advocate for HIV+ kids, provide additional medical support. Dental health is addressed through collaboration with Meenakshi Ammal Dental College and Hospital under the supervision of Dr. Ditto Sharmin. The organisation's comprehensive care approach encompasses physical and emotional aspects to prevent depression and promote a positive mindset among the children.

The organisation, through its proposed project, aims to provide vocational training to enhance the employability of 50 HIV-affected children (above 12 years) and other orphan children in Avadi Municipality, Chennai. By offering specific job-oriented training, it seeks to equip them with certified skills, ensuring a competitive edge in the job market. This initiative reflects the organisation's commitment to empowering these children by preparing them for specific skilled occupations through formal vocational training at Prathayasa Home.

Mellow Circle Prathyasha Trust, ensures a vibrant atmosphere by celebrating major festivals with joy and special menus tailored to the occasion at Prathyasha.

Additionally, the organisation prioritizes the recreational well-being of the children by organising periodic outings, picnics, and visits to recreational centres, providing them with enjoyable experiences outside the routine of daily life. This approach reflects the organisation's commitment to fostering a holistic and celebratory environment for the children under its care.
