They are role models to the younger children, who are inspired to pursue their own passion and achieve greater heights in life.
Our children also make their mark in sports and arts, too. Many children from ATMA Gurukulam are regularly part of their school sports teams, and have won medals in district and state levels.
ATMA Gurukulam focuses on the education and overall development of the girls. The vision is to enable them to transform into responsible and responsive citizens of the society, and leaders in their chosen fields.
At ATMA Gurukulam, the children are given much more than food and shelter. They are given the love, care and security of a real home, where they can be safe and happy. There are two resident caretakers and a resident child welfare officer, who take care of the food, accommodation and safety needs of the children. Other trained ATMA volunteers visit regularly and stay with the children to provide educational, counselling or mentoring support.
The children attend Sree Sarada Girls' Higher Secondary School, Puranattukara, till 12th standard, and then move on to pursue higher education courses of their choice in reputed colleges. am.
A well-balanced diet, regular yoga practice and daily games sessions are part of the ATMA Gurukulam routine. Regular health check -ups are also done and required treatments provided under the consultation of expert doctors.
The children often come to us after going through troubled and traumatic periods in their life. They need special care, emotional stability and psychological support. This is provided through expert counselling and therapy facilitated at ATMA Gurukulam.
The children are responding well to our care, and bringing home accolades and achievements in academics, arts and sports. They are also well appreciated by teachers and peers for their leadership qualities and readiness to help others.
The achievement of every child is an inspiration to the younger children to follow in their footsteps and create success stories of their own. The senior girls also support and mentor the younger ones.
ATMA Foundation has a team of committed volunteers who devote their time, resources and expertise to support the children of ATMA Gurukulam. Together, we strive to empower the children to succeed in life, to dream big, achieve those dreams, and contribute back to society when they can.
ATMA Gurukulam is currently functioning in a leased premises with facilities limited for 20 girls. It is an urgent need to have our own building & premises with ample facilities for atleast 50 girls. We are actively raising funds for this purpose, and hope that very soon, we will be able to meet the resource needs. With the new building with better facilities in place, will be able to help more helpless children who are in dire need of support.
