RTU is an organisation dedicated to helping and empowering some of the most disadvantaged people across Tamil Nadu, India's southernmost state. RTU focuses on the needs of those who belong to the lowest social classes, to whom little to no support is available elsewhere.

"Focusing on children, where possible Reaching the Unreached supports them and their families within local communities. If this fails, our four Children’s Villages act as a safety net, providing care in a community setting with a foster mother, brothers and sisters. Children admitted have often lost one or both parents to diseases such as TB or HIV, to accidents, alcoholism, suicide or domestic violence"

We are asking you to help us raise the £975 needed to build a house in one of these communities. This will help improve the lives of a foster mother and up to four children, who, without your help, would be forced to live in abject poverty.

Having previously visited the first and biggest RTU village in Tamil Nadu, where I helped in the construction of 10 such houses, I can personally attest to the impact this gesture will have.

We plan run this event as a raffle, with the winner recieving a cash prize of £100. Other prizes will be added and donations are welcome!

If you would like to be entered into the raffle, tickets are £5 each. Once your donation has gone through, tick the box alongside “I'm
happy to be contacted by David". Justgiving can then share your
contact details and we will be in touch to allocate your numbers.

Thank you so much for all your help,

Kathleen and David
