Monthly Clusters
​
Veyil Foundation has monthly get together programmes in various economically challenged areas such as tribal settlements and slums. These events are to study and resolve the challenges they face. Currently the sustainability programmes are focusing on giving educational support to children, ensuring food safety to children and senior citizens. Job oriented training is provided to youth. These programmes include environmental activities, art workshops and legal awareness.
Children’s Camp
​
Veyil Foundation organizes two children’s camp every year. One at the time of Onam, the thanks giving festival of Kerala and the other during the summer vacation. The summer camp is a comparatively larger programme with respect to the number of children participating, number of days and volunteers.
​
We have many children from tribal and slum areas who dropout from school and are demotivated. Cocoon’s mission is to reduce the dropout rate to zero in these areas. Our educational camps are based on fun, creation and coliving.
Rural Development
​
Building libraries, study centers, toilets and sanitation areas have been our main goals in rural development section. Veyil Foundation has attached a home farming group with food safety programme and rural development. School children are educated and supported to do micro farming in homes and setup a barter market where they can exchange crops. This self-supporting movement has been taken over by enthusiastic adults in some areas which has resulted in a leap towards self-sufficiency and balanced eating habits.
Street Walk
​
Street walk is a very simple concept as the name indicates. Assigned volunteers randomly walk on streets to find people living there. They share new clothes, medical care and food. It has been a successful movement during strikes and harthals where no hotels or restaurants are opened and becomes difficult to find food at right time. Veyil Foundation has its street walk in Kerala, Tamilnadu, Karnataka and Andhra pradesh. We have given special consideration to street walk during natural calamities such as Chennai flood series, Kerala flood disaster and Covid 19 pandemic.
