RDCEWE, a Registered Public Charitable Trust, Village Lamjhari,
PO Bhagabila, PS Manjhari, District. West Singhbhum, State Jharkhand , PIN Code
833201.
The village has a population of 1933 people mainly belonging to a Tribal Community by
name HO and surrounded by similar type of villages. These are deep forest areas with a
difficult terrain and attendant problems.
The inhabitants are mainly agricultural labourers with seasonal employment and low wages
and income. Malnutrition and access to good health care system and education have been
the main cause of underdevelopment. Formation of RDCEWE is an attempt to identify the
causes for underdevelopment and regenerate the very soul of this part of Rural India.
To make a difference in the lives of most deserving population of Rural India.
To improve school infrastructure & to sustain Project Nutrition.
There are 37 Villages in 14 Panchayats spread throughout the West
Singbhum District. Most of the villages are in deep forest areas without basic
facilities like, water, sanitation and education. Many children succumb to cold and
infection during winter as they are unable to afford warm clothes. Thanks to our
well-wishers we managed to procure 5000 fleece blankets, 1000 thermal wears and monkey
caps and distributed them to all the children living in 37 villages during the month of January and February 2023.
We had to walk several miles carrying the blankets etc. by cycle. It took 2 full months
for us to complete the distribution. The experience was very satisfying. We used the
opportunity to educate the villagers about the need for family planning, health,
hygiene and education. This has resulted in positive response from the parents who are
requesting us to admit their children in our school. We are trying to overcome the
challenges posed by the sudden surge in demand for school admission. Our resources are
limited. We are committed to empowering these community of people and break the cycle
of poverty through education.
The Women Empowerment programme started in June 2023 in the forest in West Singhbhum district , Jharkhand by Basmati and her team have started yielding good results .
The poor women have been encouraged to take up their traditional activities and supported to market them . The movement is gathering momentum. Similarly , our school at Lamjahari has a student strength of 330 from Pre nursery to 7th standard.
63 children who are either orphans or whose parents are unable to provide sufficient care are staying in the school itself with comprehensive care. Sixteen qualified and dedicated teachers are taking care of all these activities. The school infrastructure is very poor.
We need to create a reasonably good infrastructure.
Our Nutrition project under which all the children are given free breakfast and a midday meal from Mondays to Saturdays along with free education has been a great success .
Thanks to the dedicated team of teachers and visionary leader Basmati. All our teachers are also shaping as good leaders. Our children are studying well and excelling in extra curricular activities . Recently our children won four gold medals and a silver medal in district level tournament .
All these achievements would not have been possible without your gracious support .
We value your support and assure you that each and every rupee that you donate will be spent frugally to
benefit this community of people who need to be lifted above the poverty line.
Please continue to extend your support.
Thanks & Regards, Venkatanathan , Hariharan & Chokkalingam.

Managing Trustee & Founder Chairperson
It is my proud privilege to connect with you.
I am from a remote village Lamjhari located in a forest in West Singhbhum
District, Jharkhand State, India. The village has a population of 1933
people belonging to a minority Tribal Community by name HO. The village is
100 kms away from Jamshedpur. The people of the village are very poor and
work as agricultural labourers and that too for about six months a year. The
majority of the men folks are migrant workers working in far off place
struggling to support their families.
Children in our village do not have access to good education as the only
Govt Primary School in our area does not have adequate facilities including
teaching staff. It is in this background we registered RDCEWE as a Public
Charitable Trust and started a school to provide free Primary Education from
Nursery to Seventh Standard and take up activities to empower women in our
area. The Trust has been running the school since April,2022 in a makeshift
class room, thanks to the support of the local community. With the help of a
group of friends we managed to raise some funds through crowd funding to
carry out the repairs to the roof of the building that was damaged due to
heavy rains and winds during the month of June,2022. We also managed to
construct 4 latrines.
Majority of the population can’t even afford a decent meal everyday and not
to talk of Nutritious meal. Often the only meal they can afford is cooked
rice soaked in water with salt. We realised unless the children are healthy
they can’t concentrate on studies. Therefore, we launched a PROJECT
NUTRITION on the 17th of September, 2022 under which the children are given
nutritious breakfast and a mid-day meal from Monday to Saturday. This
project alone costs Rs.80000.00 (Rupees Eighty thousand) per month. We have
11 volunteers working as teachers. We are driven by the passion to raise the
standard of living of our community. A lot needs to be done to improve the
school infrastructure and sustain the Project Nutrition. We also need to
focus on steps to be taken to empower the women in our
community.
We are confident that this humble project of ours will flow like a mighty
river and embrace the entire community in our region and break the cycle of
poverty.
As we put our first baby step on the long journey to a thousand miles, we
earnestly appeal to you to support our initiative in making a difference in
the lives of the most deserving population of our region.
