School Supplies to 500+ Children
By Benjamin Chinnappan | Founder & President
In October 2024, Dalit Solidarity provided essential school supplies to 500 children from low-income families, food rations like rice, dhaal, cooking oil, salt to 50 widows, goats to 4 poor women and solar lamps to 20 Irular community tribes. This initiative not only provided tangible supplies but also instilled hope and inspiration within the community, reinforcing the importance of education and economic independence for our children and widows.
The poor and the marginalized always live-in hope – hope of bettering their lives and rising to stand in equality with their fellow human beings. This hope is realized through people like you. Dalit Solidarity remains committed to initiatives like this that empower marginalized communities, and looks forward to continuing similar programs in the future.

Enhanced Educational Experience for Students
By Benjamin Chinnappan | Founder & President
The introduction of school buses at St. Patrick's Academy has significantly enhanced the educational experience for its students. The buses have provided reliable and safe transportation, ensuring that children who previously struggled with commuting can now attend school regularly and punctually. This has led to improved attendance rates and academic performance.
The availability of the buses has also allowed students to participate more actively in extracurricular activities such as sports, field trips, and cultural events, which are crucial for their holistic development. Parents feel more at ease knowing their children have a secure mode of transportation.
Despite these benefits, the school currently faces a pressing need for additional buses to cater to its growing student population of 850 children this Academic Year 2024-2025. The existing transportation resources are insufficient to meet the demand, resulting in overcrowded buses and logistical challenges. More buses would alleviate these issues, ensuring that all students can travel comfortably and safely!
