Child labour is common. The society aims to serve the society by providing welfare and development to orphan destitute children of both sexes by educating them and satisfying their basic needs. To achieve this, Captain Azariah Children s Home was established in 1987. Children once admitted stay permanently and do not go to their biological relatives houses even during holidays. All basic needs such as food, shelter, education, clothing, entertainment, etc. are met by the Home.
Some children are physically deformed and some are mentally unsound.
There are 20 children including 13 boys and 7 girls, between 5 and 18 years of age. Four boys are undergoing an industrial training course in Madras run by Inter Mission. These five boys are staying in hostels and are being financially supported by way of stipends. The remaining 15 children continue to go to school and stay in the Home in Thally. The children are provided individual attention in their studies and moral guidance to mould their character.
