Community development is a process where people come together to take action on what’s important to them.

At its heart, community development is rooted in the belief that all people should have access to health, wellbeing, wealth, justice and opportunity. Community development is fundamentally based on the values of human rights, social justice, equality and respect for diversity.

• Supports communities, of place and identity, to use their own assets to improve the quality of community life.
• Helps communities and public agencies to work together to improve services and the way in which decisions are made.

GMT is involving in the Community Development Programme. Its successful execution will bring back to village economic prosperity which characterised them in the not too distant past. The programme, therefore, seeks to regain a lost paradise. It is intended to bring both outward and inward grace to the Indian village.

This Project will provide emergency food items and basic hygienic kits for poor families in present affecting areas of Coimbatore, Tiruppur, Karur and Erode districts of Tamil Nadu who lost livelihood opportunities and encounter poverty. It results in many families started to struggle for single meal in a day. And also there is a big threat for people who do not have proper immune system. To reduce this burden and risk, GMT supports these families with grocery items and hygiene kits for their survival. GMT prioritizes focusing on protecting people and health of the community. Your donation to this fund will help stop COVID-19’s spread and protect us all.

Women are worst affected when it comes to unemployment and poverty. Without any income of their own, they need to depend on men for anything and everything. If the men are also unemployed, the matter gets worse. Women empowerment through self-reliance and financial independence can be achieved by providing vocational training, through which women can either start up something of their own or take- up a job.

Gilgal Mission Trust has set up various Sewing Training Centres to make women self-sufficient and confident. Stitching garments is one job that remains till end of the mankind. Further, basic tailoring skills enable women to work from home, they can continue in their traditional role as homemaker and yet earn. Tailoring is something which women can immediately start right from their homes upon completion of their course.

Interested women are train for embroidery, arts and designing skills as well as tailoring. The course duration is 6 months for basic cutting & sewing, next the participants can progress to the next level which is training in detailed art & creativity.

Gilgal Mission Trust has been providing free healthcare services to elders, women, children and the general public through quality healthcare services within easy access. Our Main motto is to provide and promote health awareness.

We work towards quality healthcare, keeping in mind a positive impact on the community and environment. It also works towards other causes that go hand-in-hand with healthcare, such as nutrition, hygiene etc.

With reputed health institutions we carry out dental health camps, eye camps and general health camps at regular intervals in slums and other crowded hamlets.

Education is the basic need of the society. Education opens up the mind, expands it and allows us to improve our life in so many ways. The purpose of school is to develop and exercise students’ potential for reasoning, form ethical character, and provide a skill and knowledge base. It is also to develop dispositions and habits that exercise reason and forming a human’s ethos. Education is an attempt to find the kind of unity of doing and making that enables individuals to grow, ethically and socially. An intelligent heart acquires knowledge, and the ear of the wise seeks knowledge. Let us start where we are, use what we have and do what we can. Education is the passport to the future; for tomorrow belongs to those who prepare for it today.

Gilgal Mission trust extends its helping hand to those who are deprived of the basic education in whatever way it is possible. We also initiate students of college/universities to form five member teams under GMT Forum banner, and take care of the poor students who need help on food, boarding, clothes, books, fees etc. We focus on children from low income communities enabling them to maximize their potential and change their lives. By this mission, we are confident that many underprivileged children will have a bright future. You can be a part of our educational journey. GMT volunteers undertake free tuition center in villages and slum areas to educate and train the underprivileged in the society, to compete with the affluent sections. Let us join in the Mission to serve the needy students.

One in eight women, men and children go to bed hungry every night and by 2025 nearly a billion young people will face poverty because of the damage done to them now through hunger and malnutrition. Hunger remains the No.1 cause of death in the world. There are 820 million chronically hungry people in the world. Million Indians survive on less than Rs. 20/- a day. Over 20 crores Indians will sleep hungry one night. Over 7000 Indians die of hunger every day and over 25 lakh Indians die of hunger every year. Despite substantial improvement in health since independence and a growth rate of 8 percent in recent years, under-nutrition remains a silent emergency in India, with almost 50 percent of Indian children underweight and more than 70 percent of the women and children with serious nutritional deficiencies as anemia. The number of hungry people in India is always more than the number of people below official poverty line. Support us so that we can alleviate poverty and try to provide food for this fragile section of the society. Join Now.

76 Million Don’t Have Safe Drinking Water. Access to safe drinking water has been a grave problem for India, especially in rural areas where lack of usable water has resulted in decades old sanitation and health problems. Government records show that in 1980, just 1% of India’s rural areas had access to safe, usable water. By 2013, that had increased to 30%, but the majority of rural India continues to live without proper access to safe drinking water.

A Water Aid report in 2016 ranked India among the worst countries in the world for the number of people without safe water. An estimated 76 million people in India have no access to a safe water supply, and the situation is only getting more serious. We are committed to dig the bore wells in the rural villages and the unreached villages on the mountain. Would you support this project through your financial support?

This project provides urgently needed relief and rehabilitation support to the flood-hit people. Relief materials and supplies are mobilised to meet the needs of people in camps. Providing livelihood and reconstruction support is our main motto.
