We have our DOVE Children's Home having 120 girl children in the age group of 6 to 17 studying in classes 1st standard to 12th standard. Development Of Village Education (DOVE) which is a non profit organization in Tamil Nadu in India  is running this Home for the past 24 years. Girl children from poor background in marginalized communities are taken care of. We are helping them complete their school years till they achieve their degree from colleges. The Home runs on donation from kind donors. There has been no solid support but working on donation from donors from different quarters. 

Development Of Village Education (DOVE) was started in the year 2000 and registered under Society's Act. Further it is registered with Home Ministry of India under FCRA which makes it eligible to receive donation from abroad for development activities. A Seven member Board is running after the administration.

**A Van is needed to take the children to school which is 2 Kilometers away:**

The Project area is typically rural one and DOVE Home is situated in a village. The school where the children are studying is in another place which is 2 Kilometer away. All the children use to go to the school by walk. They encounter much difficulties while walking to the school. Their studies suffer as they are exhausted. Sometimes they tend to attend classes behind regular hours. Since they are girl children it is extremely difficult for them to cover the 4 Kilometers up and down on a daily basis by walk. The Home is run on kind donations but there is shortage of funds to arrange a van for the children to go to the school comfortably. We would request the generous supporters to come forward to help us purchase a van on our own to take the children to school. 

**Budget:**

The total cost of purchasing a brand new Van (Force - Tempo Traveler) comes to  21584 USD

Opportunities for better education and health care for the underprivileged children

Our Mission

DOVE’s mission is to assist underprivileged children by providing quality education, creating opportunities for education and job-oriented training in rural areas, prioritizing rural healthcare, especially for children, and conducting livelihood programs for women to enhance family income.

The Need

Current projects lack education opportunities for children of daily laborer parents, leading to high dropout rates and child labor. Increasing access to education is essential to improving their future, as higher education is currently difficult to access due to the absence of colleges in the area.

The Solution

DOVE provides learning opportunities for underprivileged children and youths in multiple districts. Strategies for school access include midday meals, feeding programs, and livelihood skills. DOVE’s programs provide individualized attention to students' needs, bringing more children into education.

Our Impact

DOVE has supported over 1000 children in completing arts, science, and technology courses. DOVE Children's Home supplies shelter, food, healthcare, and education to 120 children. Hundreds of dropouts have returned to school. DOVE Health Centre provides medical services to 40 villages.

**DOVE Children’s Home:**

Further DOVE Children’s Home is running for the past 20 years with an intake of 120 children from poor backgrounds. They are given proper accommodation, food, health care, and quality education. They are from class 1 to class 12. The Children are from marginalized families who are  in no way supported by their parents for their education. After they complete class 12 they are admitted in colleges for higher courses. Thus a child is fully grown up in DOVE Home till they complete college studies and land in a good job. A child's bright future is shaped at DOVE Home.

**DOVE Health Centre:**

Periodical medical camps are conducted to enhance the health aspects of people living in remote areas. A full-fledged hospital with modern facilities is a long-felt need in this area that can give advanced treatment for a greater number of patients and can save many lives.

**Women Empowerment:**

In all the working villages women's groups are organized and development activities are undertaken with a major thrust on livelihood programs and savings. Currently, there are 400 Women Self Help Groups functioning vibrantly in the working villages.

**DOVE financial support for College Studies:**

For the comprehensive growth of the children, they need to pursue College Courses once they finish school education. With this in mind, DOVE is extending deserving young people from disadvantaged communities financial support to pursue higher education. More than 1000 young people have been helped complete college studies in two decades. Presently there are 40 students pursuing different courses who are in need of financial support. There are more students waiting for financial help to pursue their courses.
