Can you help?

Make a donation

Every penny donated goes to the work in Kovalam with the UK costs being paid by the trustees.

You can make a secure online donation through Give Now.

Or you can give to the Venkat Trust by monthly standing order. We rely on standing orders to meet our regular monthly costs such as teachers’ salaries, books, school fees and uniforms. Please contact us and we will send you a standing order form.

Could you sponsor a child?

Having a sponsor makes an immeasurable difference to a child and his or her family and there is always a waiting list of children needing to be sponsored.

Sponsors pay £10 a month. Half the money goes to the family for the child’s welfare and the other half is kept in a savings account for the more expensive years ahead when the child moves onto further education. Our sponsors find this ongoing relationship with a child half a world away gives great pleasure as they watch their ‘child’ grow up.

If you would like to become a sponsor, please email us.

A special gift

The perfect Christmas or birthday present and one that really does make a difference – a donation to the work of the Venkat Trust, or perhaps you would like to set up a sponsorship for a friend or relation? Please contact us to find out more.

Leave a gift in your will

By remembering the Venkat Trust’s work in your will, you’re providing children who really need your support with hope for their future.

Help equip the new high school

At last, work is to begin to build a high school in Kovalam. We have the funds for the bricks and mortar but not to provide furniture and equipment. If you can help we would be glad to send our 'shopping list'. Contact us to find out more.
