Udhay
Civil/Resident Engineer, Coimbatore, Tamilnadu, India.
Why I Chose Aakkam?
I was born in a rural area of Tamil Nadu, close to Coimbatore, without access to essential services like transportation, education, or other necessities of life. I am fortunate to have a maternal uncle who inspired and supported me in my studies, and many of my friends also contributed financially and morally to the completion of my engineering degree. While my hometown hamlet has made some progress, many other small villages still lack the most basic amenities, particularly in the area of education. This encouraged me to participate actively in the Aakkam foundation. The major goal is to provide every child with basic needs through Aakkam schools in rural Tamil Nadu and around the world which can help future generations to live in a better world.
