Welcome to Siruthuligal Foundation (SiFo), a compassionate response born from the wreckage of the 2015 Chennai floods.
Devastation gave rise to purpose as a group of friends, who had long been engaged in social service individually, came together in the aftermath of the Chennai floods. United by a shared vision, they recognised the need to address the educational challenges faced by under privileged students. This shared purpose led to the formation of Siruthuligal Foundation (SIFO)
Since our inception, Siruthuligal Foundation has been a catalyst for change, impacting the lives of over 100 students. With over 150 dedicated members we’ve not only provided financial assistance but have become architects of transformation.
Siruthuligal Foundation is more than an organization; it’s a tightknit community fueled by the shared belief that education is the cornerstone of a brighter tomorrow.
We offer financial aid and educational resources to students facing financial constraints, ensuring that no child is left behind due to financial limitations.
The Siruthuligal Foundation emphasizes student development through a continuous process of identifying training needs, creating training courses or opportunities, delivering the training, and evaluating the impact on students’ learning.
Our learning centers go beyond traditional classrooms, providing academic support and guidance to rural government high school students in grades 6-12, especially those who need it the most.
For underprivileged students unable to pursue graduate courses, Siruthuligal Foundation collaborates with FEMA to offer job-oriented training, such as the 2-year, government-approved Diploma in Medical Laboratory Technology (DMLT).
“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”
