Empowerment center for tribal society in India

Dear Friends,

As we continue to forge ahead with our mission at SANTI, we are excited to share updates on our building's journey—a cornerstone of our community and the venue for countless moments of joy and learning.

SANTI Building Construction Update:

The construction of our beloved SANTI building has encountered a pause, with some remaining work pending due to a shortage of funds. While this challenge is significant, it has not dampened our spirits or our commitment to creating a nurturing environment for those we serve.

A Home for Celebrations and Learning:

Despite the hurdles in construction, our building has been a home to vibrant celebrations and essential learning events: 

• We joyfully celebrated the birthdays of our community members, filling the space with laughter and warmth.

• Our sewing and vocational training sessions have seen the completion of the second batch, with the third batch poised to begin. These sessions are not just about learning a skill but about building confidence and independence.

• On World Oral Health Day, we hosted a screening camp that benefitted 24 children, providing them with crucial dental care and education. This event, graced by esteemed guests like the superintendent of CHC Rajgangpur and the Director of SANTI NGO, was a testament to our dedication to the holistic well-being of our children.

 Looking Ahead:

The building, though partially unfinished, stands as a symbol of our resilience and the collective hope of our community. It's a place where education, health, and celebrations converge to create lasting memories and impactful learning experiences.

As we look to the future, we are filled with optimism and a sense of purpose to complete our building project. We invite you to continue this journey with us, supporting our vision of a fully functional space that can host even more events and programs designed to enrich the lives of those we touch.

Together, we can transform this challenge into an opportunity to strengthen our resolve and further our mission. Thank you for your unwavering support and belief in our cause.

With heartfelt gratitude,

"Building the Future, One Brick at a Time."

I'm eager to update you on the SANTI Building Construction, a project close to our hearts. Currently, we stand at an important threshold. The main structure is up, but crucial components remain unfinished. The pending work includes the veranda, staircases, four bathrooms, and the septic tank. To bring this vision to full fruition, we are earnestly seeking additional funding.

Despite its incomplete state, the building has already begun serving our community. The Women's Self-Help Group (WSHG), who recently completed a substantial order for Dalmia Cement Bharat Ltd, utilized this space for their tailoring work. It's inspiring to see how, even in its unfinished form, the building has become a hub of productivity and empowerment.

Completing the SANTI Building is not just about finishing a construction project; it's about cementing the foundation of a dream. It's about creating a space where learning, skill development, and community empowerment can thrive. We envision this building as a beacon of hope and opportunity, not just for our current projects but for many more initiatives in the future.

I invite you to be a part of this transformative journey. Your support can help us complete the construction and unlock the full potential of this space. With each contribution, we move closer to realizing a future where the SANTI building is not only a structure of bricks and mortar but a home for growth, learning, and community development. Together, let's build a legacy that will empower generations to come.

Thank you, 

Ashok Dandpat
