Seek Foundation aims to provide additional education to children in rural areas. Rural children do not have access to many things that other children have access to. They struggle to get the same opportunities as urban kids. This initiative of ours is to uplift the children at an academic level where they can compete with other children from urban areas. The original aim of these centres was to provide children from disadvantaged backgrounds with better access to schooling.

In 2017, we started these Edu-centres in various villages like Manamathi, Poondhandalam, Porpanthal, Pulipakkam, Thirupulivanam. This step provides a child to have access to free tuition in the evenings. As people living in these areas tend to be more isolated from society, many find it difficult to find work and bring home an income. Seek Edu-centres have been a great way for these kids to have an opportunity at a better future, as they’ll be able to attend universities and become successful professionals. Although the Edu-centres are a good start, more needs to be done. These centres are established to enhance the school experience of the village children by providing them assistance in completing their homework, clarifying their doubts in their subjects, paying more attention to weaker subjects of the children.

Seek Foundation supports the education of more than 250 children through Edu-centres. In each centre, we have around 30-40 children. Classes are held every evening for 2 hours except Sundays. Today our tuition centers are run in more than 15 villages of Tamil Nadu. In each village, tutors are identified, appointed, and trained. The program also focuses on English communication for the children. We have Talk sessions and children are trained to answer simple questions in English. Seek Edu-centres now provide a safe space for the children to learn, play and explore!

Seek foundation doesn’t fail to encourage and motivate women. It is an initiative from Seek Foundation where it brought around 45 women of the age group of 20 to 35 of Edamachi & Manamathi village. They were taught about stitching various types of dresses(umbrella skirts, normal skirts, tops, choli,chudithar,katcholi etc.) and tailoring techniques. This class was for about four months.They were also taught about all the parts of the Tailoring machine if just in case there is any fault they can solve on their own.

Organic waste and especially Food waste is a worldwide problem, it cost to be disposed and nothing is gained from it, it causes the emission of harmful gases such as methane. Food waste recycling is a process to convert food waste into useful materials and products for achieving sustainability of the environment. Taking into consideration all these factors Mrs. Vimala Britto invested in a decomposition machine. She has drawn awareness among the people around the Esthell Village. She has also explained the people how this to be used as poultry fertilizer, soil amendment, energy source, even construction material. This kind of manure contains many  components, including nutrients, organic matter, solids, energy, and fiber. The machine holds the specification of

• capacity: 1000 kg / day
• raw material: biodegradable waste
• process time: 24 hours

The objectives of this Machine are less Process time, Easy to use, odorless, and power saving. The designed food waste decomposition system is designed for rapid composting performance. The system employs high temperature, microorganisms to decompose food waste and organic matter. The prototype was able to decompose organic waste in a time frame of 24 hours with minimum harmful gas emissions and odors.

Mrs. Vimala Britto, secretary Seek foundation always has the vision towards Women’s Empowerment. Covid-19 has brought huge economic fall all over the world. The most affected will be below average people who rely on daily wages. Since men cannot find work as laborers on the nearby farms. The women finally decided to take matters into their own hands to secure their futures amidst the pandemic Mrs.Vimala britto encouraged all the women in and around the village in making infrastructures and materials made of coconut tree from Esthell resorts.They have collected coconut dry leaves and reething in such a way to make broomsticks.Some of them harvested large no of dry coconut leaves and immersing into water then weaving the leaflets in order to make small mat and roof for the houses.Ropes and floor mats are extracted from the outer husk of coconut.All these products are sold on their own without any middlemen and petty traders.
This became possible through Mrs. Vimala Britto who encouraged them to lead the family on their own and to feed the family. “Something is better than nothing”
