Simple human being working for other human being
Connect with the communities where you do business. Together to ensure that the rights of children are respected and fulfilled. Because we believe building equality is a collective responsibility. Terre des Hommes CORE Trust (Children’s Organization for Relief and Education) is a registered Indian Non-Governmental / Child Welfare Organization (NGO) working for children in distress, children in need of care and protection and the rehabilitation of disabled children. Terre des Hommes CORE started on 18 April 1994, in a small rented building on the outskirts of Tiruvannamalai town by Chezhian Ramu to provide care and support to abandoned, orphan, begging and street children. Tdh CORE is working extensively in India and more specifically in the Southern state of Tamil Nadu, developing various child development programs. Tdh CORE focuses on child development through children rights, education, quality care, support and protection. We currently work in 5 districts of Tamil Nadu: Tiruvannamalai, Salem, Cuddalore, Vellore and Kancheepuram. Our administrative base is in Tiruvannamalai, which is known for its divine and eternal peace and is rich in traditional values. “Our focus is to develop children and young adults to their full potential. My experience shows that thousands of children who were in our programs became independent adults, who are socially and economically successful members of our society.” – Tdh CORE President and Founder, Mr. Chezhian Ramu Mr Gerd Strehle, a Swiss citizen and engineering professional, during a visit to India, witnessed the suffering of children in Slums of Calcutta and rural villages of Tamil Nadu. This experience made him become a child’s rights activist, committed to work for the welfare of the children of India. “I Alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters to create many ripples” – Mother Teresa Chezhian Ramu (b. 1969) was born and educated in Chennai in an orthodox family. He was the only son of his family. When he lost his parents in a road accident in 1991, he moved to Tiruvannamalai in search of peace, love and affection. As he came across abandoned and begging children wandering in the streets of Tiruvannamalai, Chezhian compared his circumstances with that of those children, who were starving, not only for food but also for shelter, protection and love. This awareness made him commit to “lighting the life” of suffering children. Mr Chezhian Ramu strongly inspired by Mr Gerd Strehle, Swiss Child development worker – CoFounder of TdhCORE along with Chezhian Ramu, Edmond Kaiser – Founder of Terre des Hommes CORE movement and Mr Carlo Crocco, Swiss Entrepreneur and a great Philanthropist for the commitment towards children rights and protection.
