Widows Project

The Om Shanthi Project seeks to open hearts and minds to the plight of women in great need, in the hope of a better world for us all. Funds for this project are used for:

Food and free medical care
Housing for elderly widows in the Om Shanthi Old Age Home
Job training for destitute women
Educational support for widows’ children

Environmental Stewardship

The Girivalam Seva Project employs widows and other destitute women to care for the ancient pilgrim route that circles Arunachala, the sacred Mountain at the heart of the district we serve. Many thousands walk this path continuously, leaving huge amounts of waste. This causes a serious health risk, especially to children and animals. Girivalam Seva raises awareness about the importance of environmental stewardship.

$10 installs one trash barrel along the road
$140 employes 4 trash collectors for 1 month
$500 covers the costs of Girivalam Seva for two weeks
