Supporting the orphan children for their school and college educational expenses per year. To sponsor a child is to give that child a future, an opportunity to dream a brighter tomorrow and help him see a better world.
Manchikalalu Organization is a home for children which is formed by like-minded people who have come together to help and realize the dreams of underprivileged children in the society. It is every one’s responsibility to help the children who are in need and protect the children who are in a wrong path.

Mr. Sarath Kumar and his wife Mrs. Bhavani have been working with needy children for the past 15 years. Both are dedicated in this service and kids are calling them as mummy & Daddy.

An environment that every child deserves- an innocent childhood, education that does not just mean textbooks, but also includes imbibing values that make them caring individuals first before anything else. At the same time, making sure that they are able to achieve their dreams while knowing that we are with them at every step of the way. This is what our Organization “MANCHIKALALU” (A Home for the Needy Children) has been striving to do for the last six years.

We have formed Manchikalalu for which the charter of action is clear- Give poor and needy children a place to live, provide them food, education, medical care, find jobs and also help unearth their artistic talents.

In essence, make all attempts to ensure that they can stand on their own legs.
Like a friend we understand their needs, as a concerned parent we counsel the kids, and as a guide we provide them a sound, bright future flowing with happiness.

Our moto is “ STREET to SOCIETY”.

We are not doing great things……. only small things with great LOVE and support from you. without it, we cannot fulfil the dreams of the kids.
