Stories of Impact
Sponsors and supporters share their love of helping children

"Like every other donor, I also used to worry whether the money that we sponsor gets spent wisely to get the best value. It is very satisfying to see that Revathi and her team have been so dedicated to the cause, completely transparent in reporting and making sure that every Rupee is spent for the stated purpose."

"Vanavil is a very special place, a unique educational environment where the children can be themselves and learn through exploration and the arts.The children are curious and motivated learners who are creative problem solvers always quick to help others."

"Working with the Boom Boom Maatukarars who’re steeped in age old customs and social invisibility is an enormously dedicated effort that will bear an imprint on the social scenario and in the larger goals of reaching equal quality of education to all the marginalised children equally."

"It takes tremendous amount of hard work, patience and compasion to create an environment like Vanavil and sustain it for more than a decade. Revathi and her team have changed the lives of hundreds of nomadic children. These children otherwise would have landed up in a very different and unfortunate situation."

"I have known of the work of Vanavil for many years, and greatly admire the deep commitment Revathi, and her colleagues have shown. Progressive education for children from the most marginalised section is critical."
