Empowering women,
educating children,
sustaining communities.
Since 2006 we've worked village by village in Dindigul District, Tamil Nadu — building women's savings groups, keeping vulnerable children in school, and helping small farmers restore the land they depend on.
Every entry is a life changed
Four ways we work alongside our villages
Supporting women, sustaining communities
We promote self-help groups and run trainings on savings, leadership and safety, giving women a structured way to build financial independence and a stronger voice at home and in the village.
Restoring nature, one farm at a time
Small and marginal farmers get training and extension support in sustainable agriculture, and help forming farmer producer organisations — so knowledge turns into better yields, market access and bank credit.
Reconnecting children with learning
We identify school dropouts and vulnerable children, then support them — and their families — to stay in education through middle and high school, preventing child labour before it starts.
Bringing communities together
From Covid-19 food relief to voter awareness drives and climate education sessions, we show up for our villages beyond any single programme — because resilient communities need more than one kind of support.
Started by one volunteer in Ayyalur. Still rooted there.
In 2006, Mr. C. Veerachamy — a local social worker in Ayyalur — brought together like-minded volunteers to help the poorest families in the surrounding villages improve their social and economic conditions. Rose Trust has stayed true to that beginning ever since.
"Empowering communities, transforming lives."
