The 10th Anniversary Reachout Projects
For the last 10 years, heavenly father has blessed us abundantly with
his heavenly blessings. As we enjoy these blessings, we realize that
there is a world of people who have not been as fortunate as we are. As
part of our 10th anniversary celebrations, one of our plans is to reach
out to the less fortunate people through different projects. Our goal
is to use these projects to reach out to the people in the most
backward areas of our state. The five projects are:

 | 1. PEEK (Primary Education
Essential Kits for financially poor students)
We live in a world where there are many children who do not get the chance to realize the dream of attending a school because their parents cannot afford the cost of even primary education. To help these kids, PEEK project provides essential kits for primary school children.
|  | 2. HEAP (Higher Education
Affordable for the Poor)
The cost of higher education has skyrocketed in the past many years and has reached a point where the financially poor families are unable to afford it. The HEAP project provides education assistance to students who would like to pursue their higher education.
|  | 3. ROOF (A shelter for the
homeless)
It's hard to imagine plastic cement bags as the outdoor walls of a house, trash metal from tins as your roof and old sarees and cardboard boxes as your room separators, but these are the unfortunate reality in some parts of our state. The ROOF project will build a low budget shelter for one such family.
|  | 4. KNOT (A helping hand to
overcome the financial burdens of marriage for the poor)
While the extravaganza of marriages of rich families increases every day, there are many young girls who are unable to get married because they cannot afford the cost of even the simplest marriages. KNOT project will provide marriage cost assistance to a girl from a financially poor family.
|  | 5. FEED (Feeding the orphans)
While we are blessed with our daily bread, there are people who look forward with uncertainty for their next meal. FEED project will feed 10 orphanages on our anniversary.
