We need volunteers to find potential loan resources for people living in slums in Madurai. Any lenders that are willing to lend to people living in slums in Madurai at a reasonable interest rate would be warmly welcomed.

Hello,

Here are 2 links to sites to organizations in India that could help by either providing materials or funds for the school.

Dear neighbours,
Greetings from Nabuur Madurai Village facilitator Wenjin Yuan.
All the neighbours and I are working with James, our local representative. James is the Managing Director of People's Association for Rural Development(PARD), a local Madurai non-profit organization that has been helping women and children in Madurai since 1988.
PARD's formal website address is as followed: www.pard.org.in.

We are currently focusing on the Projects to reduce child labor and create new livelihoods.
There are two categories of children for whom we are currently working on. The first category of children is out of school and they are very young. We are trying to motivate them to rejoin the school, they could be accommodated in the school if we can support them with notebooks, uniforms, pen, pencils and school fees.
The second category of children is also out of school but they cannot be brought into school again as they are already above the age of getting into school. For this category of children only, we are planning to conduct three wheeler and four wheeler driving training, as there is a high market demand for the drivers both in the private and public sectors of the transport sector in Madurai, India.
For the first category of children, various kinds of education materials such as notebooks, school uniforms etc. are needed.
For the second category of children, funding or educational material such as cars, fuels are needed.
If you can find places willing to donate the above things, please contact me.
My e-mail address is as followed: mimiwenjin@hotmail.com
Thank you again for your active participation.

Best regards
Wenjin Yuan

Dear Sonia,
Thank you very much for your contribution.
Actually before me, the former facilitator has already asked for help from Global Giving but the result is negative.
I recently forwarded a list of 20 organizations to James, these organizations might be able to help. Before that, a project proposal is needed. Thank you very much for your revision on the project proposal.
I will look into that NGO link to see whether I can find more organizatons that might give help.
Thanks again.

Best regards
Jean Yuan
