Children, they have been the core of all Thozhamai’s activities for the sole reason that they are the most vulnerable and their voices are often unheard. We as an organization ensure that children participate at all levels, to an extent our founder often mentions about giving them the voting rights. Our focus is to create a society in which the most vulnerable sections enjoy Equality, Social Justice, Freedom, Fraternity and Democracy.
