Payir was founded in 2005 with the goal of empowering rural communities through holistic development activities. Payir aims to bring about lasting changes by facilitating improvements across multiple aspects of people’s lives – including social, economic, health and educational – and by creating local ownership. Over the years, volunteers of Payir have come across young children who drop out of school for various reasons and find it hard to reintegrate due to lack of support. Through their Residential Special Training Center (RSTC), Payir provides these children love, good nutrition, healthcare and a holistic learning experience.
RSTC is now home to 30 children between the ages of 5-14 years. In addition to housing orphans and kids from extremely deprived families, the center helps them to catch up with their peers in traditional schools. Payir offers separate training for those who are above 14 years and don’t fit into regular schooling systems and help them get placed in vocational programs.
At Aram Sei, we aim to support Payir’s RSTC program by raising funds to support costs related to food, healthcare and education. We believe this is a great way to support a truly grassroots organization that does excellent work in the areas of education and healthcare.
