Velugu Special School is a non-governmental and not-for-profit organisation established in 1997 to provide food, clothing, healthcare, education, rehabilitation and residential accommodation for both children and aged women who are vulnerable and / or with a disability across the Chittoor District, Andhra Pradesh, India. Velugu responds to their essential needs, improving their living conditions, protecting them from violence and abuse and supporting them in their efforts to become self-reliant – ultimately promoting respect for their dignity and their fundamental rights.

Humanity Unearthed is delighted to share that we made the trek to India to put 100% of funds raised, at our charity trivia night in November 2015, to good use.

With your help, we were able to purchase 1 tonne of rice, 100kg of iodised salt, 3,200 sanitary pads, 200 bars of soap, and 80 incontinence products for the residents at Velugu Special School. Your kindness has ensured that the children and elderly women living in this orphanage will have the bare necessities that we all take for granted. Thank you all for your generosity. We look forward to working with you again!
