Tailoring & Computer Training Centre for Women
The Tailoring Training Center is a new initiative under the Kirubai Project, dedicated to providing skills in tailoring, embroidery, and other courses for young women from disadvantaged backgrounds and school dropouts. This program empowers them to create various clothing items for women and children, preparing them for employment and eventual self-sufficiency. The center was launched on June 20, 2022. In 2023, we expanded by starting a computer training center for the girls as well. The students gain basic computer skills, including operating systems, software applications (word processing, spreadsheets, presentations), typing, and data entry. To date, we have successfully graduated three batches and are eagerly anticipating the start of our fourth batch in June 2025.
Food Assistance Program
Food Assistance Program came to existence during the first lock down of Covid 19. Many of our widows and single mothers lost their jobs during that time or got a deduction in their salary which made it very difficult for them to make ends meets and even provide for their families. This is when Kirubai Project stood in the gaps and started distributing consistent food and hygiene supplies to over 300+ families every two weeks from March 2020 till date. We have made it an ongoing effort to constantly supply food packages to our widows, single mothers and grandparent run families. We provide good quality provisions and hygiene kits.

After School
Tuition Centers
We started the tuition center to provide our children with a healthy environment where they can get the help they need to excel in their academics and chase after their dreams.
Many of our children in the program are first generation learners. Their parents have never been to school and are thus unable to support them academically. We started the tuition centres to provide our children with a healthy environment where they can get the help they need to excel in their academics & chase after their dreams. Before joining our tuition centre many of our children were struggling with their studies and lacked motivation. At the end of 10 months, we saw improvement in their grades, attendance and reading and writing skills. We believe that all our children deserve a chance to a better life.
