Message from Executive Director
Dear Friends
It gives me great pleasure to share with you an update on the performance of Holistic Child and
Women Development in Tamil Nadu, India through this Annual report for the year 2019-2020. It
is because of the unstinting support of our donors we are able to continue to transform the lives
of thousands of children, women and their families.
In the year 2019- 2020, our desire and effort have been to increase the number of projects
considerably, so we may touch the lives of a greater number of underprivileged children and
women.
While our efforts to increase the coverage of children, women and their families by taking up
many more new projects in different parts of the state will continue, our COMMITMENT to
maintain a high quality of the programs of the existing projects and our accountability to donors
remains steadfast.
I thank our ALMIGHTY God for His continued blessings upon this organization for the above 25
years. I would like to thank my board members, our donors, our supporters, staff, volunteers
and the entire team for associating with NAMCO and having trust in the organisation and its
work. At the end, I would like to extend my heartiest gratitude and blessings to all the children
that have connected with NAMCO. I hope, we can connect with more and more children.
Mr.C.Jeevanandham, Executive Director
Introduction
National Mother and Child welfare Organisation (NAMCO), registered under Tamilnadu
Societies Registration Act, envisions achieving a child-and women caring society that
respects their rights. Since its establishment in 1992, NAMCO has been engaged in Child
development in Thiruvarur and neighboring districts, making efforts towards breaking the
vicious cycle of their poverty and ensuring easy access to the basic rights of protection,
education, healthcare, participation and opportunities for livelihood. We have successfully
been able to design and implement innovative models like, Student Development Centers,
Child Line, and Sponsor Programme for Higher education etc. with proven outcomes. We
work for all kinds of children, regardless of gender, origin or religion, inspired by an
underlying ethic of compassion for their vulnerability and extreme marginalization.
Considering the nature of their vulnerability and challenges of working with them, we build
deep partnerships with nonprofits, businesses, governments and local administrations,
based on a shared vision of prosperity for street and working children. Working with our
partners—ranging from socially responsible corporations, NGOs, Governments—we are
committed to ensure children and women their long due rights and improve their quality of
life. We attempt to bring change by pioneering innovative models and committed partnership.
In developing innovative models and programmes, we actively involve children, women and
community by doing so; we have been quite successful in harnessing their ingenuous
creativity and skills.
Participation of children has been of central significance in our entire activities: we involve
them both in designing models/ programmes as well as their implementation on ground. All
these have led NAMCO to evolve as a truly child-centred organization. We work with children
in all their forms: street-connected children, working children, out-of-school children, school
going children, begging children, children working in factories, children connected with
railway stations, children in difficult circumstances, children using substances, runaway
children, etc. Our approach covers their needs from education, health and livelihood to
rescuing and repatriation. Time to time, in our work, children and women are protagonists
and staffs mere the catalysts for change.

my health issues and
disability, I cannot move
without tri cycle. Previously, I
was care and supported by
an Old Age Home at
Vedaranyam. Due to various
reasons, the home was
shutdown. I was in street

place with my tricycle. While
I was sleeping in the bus
stand, a Gentleman from
Lions club, noticed my
pathetic conditions and
referred to NAMCO Old Age
Home. Director of NAMCO

counseled.
