The vision of the Rajammal Trust is to create equal opportunities for special needs children, fostering their inclusion in the broader community and society.

The Special mothers/women have been facing serious problems in the form of vulnerability, gender-based violence, the impact of the pandemic, lack of adaptive strategies, lack of access to financial services, social exclusion and disability. The lack of socio-economic support and financial dependency has worsened their conditions. With a vision of promoting sustainable livelihood opportunities for those who are not having any other source of income to maintain their family, So they would get free training on weaving, embroidery and tailoring cum job prospects to enable them to start their enterprise.
