TEA Trust (Team for Education and Action Trust) was initiated during 1985, by a group of activists. Mr.R.S.Arputham, Managing Trustee, who had been earlier working with another voluntary organization wanted to start similar development activities in his own village Reddipallyam. Initially they started working with Dalit Youths by organizing them as youth groups, later the work was extended to children, particularly working children and women. Now they are working in 15 villages of Kattankulathur block, Kancheepuram district of Tamilnadu.
TEA Trust was initially funded by Seattle from 1990 to 1993, upon which the phase of proposal had completed.
The project proposal consisted of 15 non-formal learning centres being run in 15 villages of Kattankolathur Block in Chengalpattu, mostly for rural working children. The beneficiaries were 550 rural working harijan children.
