Under Privileged Daycare
SST started the daycare program (approved by the Government) during the year 2005 in the trust building. This program enables underprivileged women who need support in terms of quality, substitute care for their young children while they are at work.The need is much greater for those women who work in non-organised sector.With the help of this facility the women equip and empower themselves financially and the family at large.
Activities:
Social Service Trust runs about seven day care centers in the various surrounding areas. Basically the care takers provide day care to the children in a constructive way.It is also the objective of the Scheme to inculcate early childhood education and all round development through program. Apart from that, the kids are provided supplementary nutrition, sleeping facility, pre-school education, growth care, health check-up, immunization at free of cost. We prepare the non-affordable kids for direct entry into elementary education, who are not affordable to take up kinder-garden.
Beneficiaries:
The lower income group women areunable to attain economic independence because of the time spent to bring up their kids. We have eradicated this issue by running day care for marginalized and poor women. Our centers work from morning 9am to evening 5pm in the following places Thoraipakkam, Injambakkam, Puzhuthivakkam, Sithalapakkam, keelkatalai, Jaladaiyaenpettai, Medavakkam. About 6 months to 6 years old children are provided care by the well-trained daycare workers.Program has covered around 3000 children till now. Over 2000 women are benefited through seeking domestic jobs.

Donations:
The program basically runs with support of central Social welfare board.The funds are wholly spent for the maintenance&administration of the program at large. Donations from local patrons are also sought for the successful implementation and further enhancements to this program.
