Our vision
Empowering lives, building communities, creating a better tomorrow.
Chevuru Sha Foundation works in and around the village of Chevuru with children who have lost family support, with elders living alone, and with families carrying the weight of illness. We stand beside village students with education, encouragement and, when the moment demands it, money.
Where we work
01
Education
Fees, books, uniforms and exam coaching for students who would otherwise stop studying.
02
Health
Screening camps, medicine assistance and help reaching the right hospital for chronic illness.
03
Community
Village meetings, self-help groups and plain explanations of the schemes families are entitled to.
04
Empowerment
Computer literacy, spoken English and skill training that open work to those without it.
05
Service
Care for elders living alone and shelter for children without family, in the village itself.
Our mission
To empower village life and village students, and to make them ready for a bright future.
Read the full mission →Education is where most of our work begins, but rarely where it ends. A student who needs tuition often needs a mentor, a hospital visit paid for, or a mother who has been shown how to open a bank account. We work with the whole household, and with the school, the elders and the panchayat around it.
Our second aim is the village economy. When people understand how money moves through their community — what is earned, what leaves, what could stay — they make different decisions. We hold sessions on livelihoods, savings and self-employment, and we help those without work find it.
One village, and the hamlets around it
We have chosen depth over reach. Everything the foundation does happens within a few kilometres of Chevuru, where the board knows every household it is accountable to.
Why we work this way →Upcoming events
All events and updates →Free health screening camp
General medicine, blood pressure and diabetes screening for all residents, with follow-up referrals.
Computer literacy batch — intake
Ten-week evening course for students of class 8 and above, and for adults seeking work.
Annual sports day and equipment handover
Inter-school athletics, followed by the handover of kits and ground equipment to three rural schools.
Give
A regular contribution, however small, is what lets us promise a student a full year rather than a term.
Ways to give →Volunteer
Teach a subject, run a workshop, sit with elders, or help us keep our records straight from wherever you are.
Join us →Partner
CSR teams and grant-makers can fund a named programme and receive reporting against agreed milestones.
Talk to us →Stories
