Satkaarya means ‘helpful to many ‘ and our mission with children from underprivileged homes is to ‘help them help themselves for life’. We work together as a team of adults and children to support every child to reach his or her full potential and claim his or her rightful place in the world. We believe in supporting children with all types of need and pride ourselves in sticking with children through the ups and downs that life brings and helping them to make the right choices, learn from their mistakes and make the most of the opportunities they are given.
To achieve these goals there are educational, physical, spiritual and social provisions within the daily time-table:

Our Donor Trust
Our funds are primarily provided by the Batemans Trust, a registered charity in the UK. The founder of the Trust Mrs Alex Jacob’s unfailing love and dedication towards giving a hope and future to every deserving child is beyond measure. Her dreams for every child, vision and mission are being fulfilled by the Satkaarya Trust in India. The Trustees, friends and supporters of the Batemans Trust are working very hard to raise the funds to sustain Satkaarya’s projects in Chennai.

Our Children
Children deemed as being in need of care and protection as per the Juvenile Justice Act 2016 and/or referred to us by the Child Welfare Committee Chennai are brought under the embrace of Satkaarya. Organizations such as International Justice Mission (IJM), Crime Prevention and Victim Care (PCVC) have taken note of the services we render to children and have referred a few girls and boys for safe custody.
Satkaarya has 45 children under its wings. Our children are either
- Orphans above 6 or more years.
- Children of dysfunctional families are referred to us as a ‘last resort’
- Children rescued from bonded labour.
