GVTC becoming a reality!

Gurukulam Vocational Training Centre (GVTC) - update!



To further our vision of "breaking the poverty-manual labour cycle", we had envisaged a Vocational Training Centre as part of our mission. 

3 months back, it was still a dream!


Today, thanks to wonderful souls who have come forward to help, this is becoming a reality!

Macquarie Group Foundation, along with 2 individual donors working for Macquarie have donated funds for the construction of class rooms for (i) carpentry, (ii) cooking and (iii) beautician course. Our loving thanks for their wonderful generosity!! :-)

Hot Breads and Wangs Kitchen founder Mr Mahadevan is partnering with us to start the kitchen and cooking classes :-)

The kitchen will produce bread and biscuits regularly, along with training students, which will be bought bak from us by Hot Breads. This will ensure our sustainability. 

We require funds for 4 more class rooms, 2 staircases, along with funds for equipment and running costs. Do help us in any way you can.
