TNF Raleigh Chapter Initiatives for Underprivileged Students in Tamil Nadu

🎓 Uniforms for High School Students

While the Tamil Nadu government provides free uniforms to elementary and middle school students, high school students are not covered. TNF is stepping in to fill this gap by providing free uniforms to underprivileged government high school students in need.

🍲 Nutritional Support for Middle School Students

  • Government schools offer breakfast and midday meals to elementary students.
  • Middle school students only receive midday meals.

 

To address this, TNF is providing Sathumaavu Kanjee — a nutritious porridge — at 11 AM to help students stay energized and focused during school hours.

🎯 TNF Raleigh Chapter Focus Areas

The TNF Raleigh Chapter is committed to supporting:

  • Nutrition initiatives
  • Uniform distribution for high school students
  • Essential education supplies

 

All efforts target underprivileged students in government schools across Tamil Nadu.
