Mathew 6:19-21 “Do not lay up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy
and where thieves break in and steal, but lay up for your selves treasures in heaven, where
thieves do not break in and steal. For where your treasure is there your heart will be also”
(Mathew 25:40) “I tell you the truth whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of
mine, you did for me”
Hebrews 13 says that “Don’t forget to do good and share what you have with those in need, for
such sacrifices are pleasing to God.”
Even the Parable of the Widow’s offering Mark 12:40-43 Jesus teaches us that the value of a gift
is not measured by its size but by its sacrifice.
The above teaching from God’s Word convinced me enough that I should leave my business and
join NIRMAAN, a Christian NGO working among the Scheduled Tribes of India. These tribes
constitute the weakest section of our society as they had been subjected to economic exploitation
and social discrimination for ages. This unfortunate situation has been largely responsible for
their abject poverty, illiteracy and overall backwardness. Nirmaan aims at developing these
communities to be holistically developed. At present, our work is focused on Ravulas.
Ravulas of Thirunelli.
Thirunelli is the largest revenue village in
Wayanad district, one of the least developed
districts of Kerala. Majority of Thirunelli
panchayat is under forest cover, which is
endowed with rich and incredible
biodiversity and most of the tribes of this
region are agricultural laborers.
We also have plans to widen our horizon to reach the Muthuvan of Idduki, Muduga & Pal
Kurumba of Attapady in Kerala and Betta Kurumba in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka & Kerala this year.
We are providing you an opportunity to those caught in the web of poverty. Those of you who are
doctors can provide health care; Educators can provide literacy and remedial reading programs;
Businessmen can impart job skills. Above all, we request your earnest prayers and your kind
support for this good Endeavour.
Yours,
