Petty shop
Seetharaman, a forty five year old orthopedically challenged individual required assistance to earn a living to support his family. Taking into account his interest and abilities, Bhoomika Trust networked with ASSCOD, a NGO in Madurantakkam and funded a petty shop close to his house at Chitravadi village (Madurantakkam) in May 2006.
Seetharaman continues to replenish his stock on a regular basis and his wife assists him in running the petty shop.
Handmover
In January 2006, Bhoomika Trust helped in the rehabilitation of a physically challenged 28 year old man who, coupled with disability and poverty, was unable to attend school or learn a useful trade. He was provided a handmover that enabled him to help in the family business of supplying milk.
