CHAIRMAN’S MESSAGE
As I present this year’s Annual Report, I am reminded of our shared vision to provide educational opportunities to every child. Our mission is deeply rooted in the belief that education can transform lives, and we remain committed to creating a lasting, positive impact on the children we support in India. During 2023-24, we have faced significant challenges, including operational changes and staff departures, which have required us to reassess the sustainability of Goodwill India. After engaging ASA & Associates to evaluate the Standing Operating Procedures in India, the Indian Committee was surprised by their findings. This led to staff resignations and a need to rethink our strategies moving forward.
To address these challenges, we made a strategic decision to appoint Mr Santhosh as CEO of Goodwill India, supported by Dr Soosai (Business & Finance) and Mr Senthil Kumar (TORP). Together, their task was to streamline operations and strengthen fundraising efforts in India. Recognising the period of dormancy Goodwill India has undergone, it was acknowledged that prevailing patterns may have shifted. Consequently, the sustainability of Goodwill India at its current operational level was untenable. However, despite our intentions, the relationship between Goodwill UK and the Indian Executive Committee became strained. Miscommunication and disagreements led to difficulties in collaboration.
During the year's final quarter, there was a reported change of officials within the Indian Executive Committee which resulted in strained relations and the Executive Committee’s unwillingness to work with the UK. Actions taken by the Indian Committee were deemed unsuitable and misjudged.
Despite this, the trustees continued to trust the new team's integrity. Communication hurdles with India were acknowledged, yet the UK's openness and willingness to collaborate were reaffirmed. Trustees noted the need for the UK to reassess its direction due to the breakdown in relations and lack of mutual respect in communications. Considering these challenges, there is a consideration to restructure Goodwill UK to adapt to these new circumstances.
This year in review has also seen a focus on enhancing the skills and diversity of the UK trustees, ensuring we have the expertise needed to guide Goodwill into the future. We are actively looking to bring in individuals with experience in finance, legal, fundraising, and digital marketing to strengthen our leadership. Despite the communication challenges with India, our resolve to support underprivileged children in Tamil Nadu remains as strong as ever. We know that education is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty, and we are determined to continue this vital work.
Looking back over the past 50 years, I am proud of the remarkable achievements we have made together. Many children’s lives have been transformed through the support of Goodwill, and we have been fortunate to receive legacy gifts that have enabled us to continue our work sustainably. These gifts have allowed us
3
to fund new initiatives that we otherwise could not have supported. I want to express my gratitude to all our supporters, your commitment has been essential to our success, and I hope we can count on your continued support as we work to make a lasting difference in the lives of the children we serve.
Dr David Neill Chairman

INTRODUCTION
Goodwill Children’s Homes Charitable Society is an independent non-governmental, social development welfare organisation registered under the Society Register Act 1961 and was established in 1974. It is one of the leading childcare organisations in South India and focuses on providing quality education and longterm care and support. We respect varying religions and cultures. We work in the spirit of the United Nations Convention on the Rights of the Child. The home provides educational opportunities to children from marginalised tribal communities in southern Tamil Nadu.
OVERVIEW OF ACTIVITIES AND ACHIEVEMENTS DURING 2023-24
Nutritional Programme Adherence – as per the guidance of the District Child Protection Officer (DPO)
Goodwill Children's Homes, Tamil Nadu, maintained a strong commitment to providing nutritious meals for the children in its care, following the guidance of the District Child Protection Officer (DCPO). A daily menu chart was carefully planned, printed, and displayed for both children and staff. This practice helped ensure transparency and consistency in meal planning, supporting the organization's efforts to uphold nutritional standards.
The implementation of the menu was consistent across both the Goodwill Children's Homes. At the Thandigudi Children's Home, children benefited from nutritious meals that were carefully prepared and served according to the prescribed schedule. Similarly, the boys at the Sanarpatti Boys' Home received meals that met all nutritional guidelines, supporting their well-being and development. This uniform approach ensured that all children in our care were provided with the same high standard of nutrition.
Goodwill Children's Homes established itself as a model of excellence in the Dindigul district, setting a high benchmark for other homes to follow. The organisation's commitment to providing nutritious meals in strict accordance with the District Child Protection Officer’s (DCPO) guidelines was a key factor in this achievement. By consistently offering well-balanced meals, Goodwill not only supported the health and growth of the children but also promoted the importance of good nutrition. Over the past year, these efforts reflected the core values of the organisation and its dedication to the well-being of the children in its care.

Goodwill Children’s Home: A Renewed Commitment to Excellence
With the arrival of the new team of staff members, the institution has renewed its focus on providing education and nourishment for children in need. This report highlights the recent changes, community responses, and prospects of Goodwill Children's Homes, Tamil Nadu.
The new staff team has brought renewed energy and commitment to the organisation. Their dedication to the well-being and development of the children has been reflected in their work. Under their guidance, the home has improved its services, placing a stronger emphasis on providing quality education and nutritious meals. These efforts were aimed at fostering a supportive and nurturing environment for the children's overall growth and development. Parents were keen on keeping their children in the Home, recognising the new potential for excellent education and care. The children themselves were now experiencing a renewed sense of security and hope. With the renewed focus on education and personal development, the children at GCHCS are expected to thrive and grow into well-rounded individuals.

Bringing Joy to Children – Celebrating Birthdays with Sumptuous Meals
At the Thandigudi and Sanarpatti Homes, a meaningful tradition has quietly taken root, where individuals from Dindigul and surrounding areas celebrate their birthdays by sharing a meal with the children. This gesture of kindness provides the children with a special meal and allows the donors to experience the joy of giving, marked by the children's smiles and gratitude.
Those who have participated in this tradition often speak of the deep sense of fulfillment they feel. The children's happiness serves as a reminder that acts of generosity bring joy to both the giver and the receiver. The simple act of celebrating with the children has left a lasting impact on many, fostering a connection that enriches both sides.
This initiative has not only thrived but has also expanded its reach. Three benevolent souls stepped forward, their hearts brimming with love and compassion, to provide the children with a rich, sumptuous meal on their birthdays. Their act of kindness was met with warm embraces, heartfelt prayers, and the sweetest of birthday wishes from the children who had quickly grown to hold them dear. More than just the gift of a hearty meal, these celebrations have brought the children and sponsors together in an act of collective love and support. As word spread, more people joined this beautiful mission. This incredible mission will go a long way in providing the children with not just food, but also the care, education, and opportunities they deserve.
Through the generous support of individuals, the children were able to enjoy a special meal during these celebrations. These events were not only an opportunity to provide nourishment but also to offer emotional support, reminding the children that they are cared for by others. The gatherings reflected a sense of
6
community and compassion, highlighting the positive impact that collective efforts can have on the lives of those in need.
We express our sincere gratitude to all who participated and contributed to this initiative. Your generosity has had a meaningful effect on the well-being of the children. This initiative serves as a reminder that small acts of kindness can make a significant difference. By continuing to support such efforts, we can contribute to positive change and foster a sense of care and unity.
Building Bonds of Care and Support at Goodwill Children's Homes
The staff's consistent presence and active engagement with the children have helped create a caring and protective environment in the Homes. Regular visits and interactions provide comfort and instil confidence, fostering open communication between the children and their caregivers.
In addition to emotional support, the staff also showed a genuine interest in the children's academic progress, offering advice and encouragement to boost their performance. This involvement enhanced the children's self-esteem and motivation. The staff were seen as trusted figures, with contact information for key team members, Santhosh and Soosai, readily available to ensure the children feel supported at all times.
Enhancing Mealtime Experience for Children: Transition to Tables and Benches
The transition from sitting on the floor to using benches and tables for mealtimes in the Sanarpatti and Thandigudi children's homes had a positive impact on the children's development and well-being. The introduction of benches and tables improved comfort and posture, making mealtimes more relaxed. It also contributed to better hygiene, encouraged social interaction, and provided a more organized setting. This change helped reduce food wastage and introduced a sense of normality, supporting the children's development. Additionally, it allowed the children to practice table manners and etiquette, offering valuable life skills.
Expanding Hope: Goodwill Children's Homes' Mission to Support More Vulnerable Children
Goodwill Children's Homes undertook a mission to extend its services at both the Boys' Home in Sanarpatti and the Children's Home in Thandigudi. This initiative was driven by the belief that every child deserves a safe and nurturing environment, regardless of their circumstances. To achieve this, a collaborative effort was initiated, led by Mr Sivakumar, Child Protection Officer in Dindigul, and Ms Poongodi, Project Officer for Integrated Child Development Services.
The expansion strategy involved engaging with Panchayat Presidents across the Dindigul district to seek their support in identifying and referring orphaned and semi-orphaned children to the homes. By fostering cooperation with local authorities and communities, Goodwill Children's Homes aimed to provide more children with shelter and opportunities for growth. This effort highlighted the importance of collective action in addressing the needs of vulnerable children and ensuring they had access to a caring and supportive environment.
Financial Support to Deserving Children
Goodwill Children’s Home Charitable Society held a gathering on 30th December 2023 at the Sanarpatti Boys' Home to ensure transparency and fairness in distributing educational support. The event, attended
7
by the Secretary, Treasurer, and Executive Committee members, brought together children and parents from various communities, reflecting the Society’s inclusive approach.
During the event, cheques were distributed to deserving students, providing financial support for higher education. The presence of both parents and committee members emphasised the community's role in the Society’s mission. It was noted that the support came from donors in the UK and France, highlighting international backing for the initiative.
The event demonstrated the Society’s commitment to transparency, accountability, and inclusivity, further empowering underprivileged children to pursue their educational goals.
Games of Joy: Empowering Children at Sanarpatti and Thandigudi Homes
In 2023-24, Goodwill Children's Homes enhanced recreational opportunities for the children at Sanarpatti and Thandigudi by organising a range of games to promote physical activity and teamwork. Santhosh led cricket sessions, fostering teamwork and coordination, while Soosai organized volleyball, encouraging camaraderie. Throwball was also introduced, helping improve hand-eye coordination. Amandine from Goodwill Children’s Home, France, joined in the activities, and Siva, the new counsellor, provided additional training, building the children’s confidence and engagement in sports.
Outcome:
Increased Happiness:
The games and sports activities organized during the day brought a great deal of joy to the children. They were actively involved, had fun, and enjoyed the camaraderie of playing with their peers.
Evasion of Loneliness:
The recreational activities were successful in helping the children get away from any feelings of soberness or loneliness they may have experienced. Engaging in physical activities, laughter, and bonding with others lifted their spirits.
Developing a Sportsman Spirit: One of the notable outcomes of the day was the visible development of a sportsman spirit in all the children. They showed enthusiasm, sportsmanship, and a willingness to compete in a friendly and respectful manner.
The games and sports day for the children of Sanarpatti and Thandigudi homes was a great success, offering both meaningful recreation and opportunities to promote physical fitness, teamwork, and a positive mindset. The staff's dedication, along with Amandine's participation from Goodwill Children Home, France, made the event a memorable and impactful experience. Continuing such activities is highly recommended to support the ongoing growth and development of the children.
Goodwill Children's Homes Paid Heartfelt Tribute to the Late Mr Sundaram
On December 15, 2023, dedicated members of the Goodwill Children's Homes Charitable Society - including staff, executive members, board members, and former colleagues—gathered at the residence of Mr Sundaram in Thandigudi (Kodalamkadu) to pay their final respects. Mr Sundaram, a revered advisory committee member and former treasurer, was remembered with deep gratitude for his service to the Society.

Transforming Lives
Children at Sanarpatti and Thandigudi homes were once accustomed to sleeping on thin mats, crowded into shared spaces. The arrival of a new staff team marked the beginning of a transformation. Their first step - providing mattresses - brought immediate relief, replacing the hard floor with comfort. Dormitories were restructured, giving each child personal space and privacy. This shift, grounded in respect and compassion, helped the children feel valued and secure. The transformation went beyond physical comforts; it restored their sense of dignity and hope. Today, both homes stand as beacons of care, showing how small acts of kindness can bring profound change, giving every child a safe place to sleep, dream, and grow.
Parents Meeting at Sanarpatti Boys’ Home
On October 7, 2023, a key meeting was held at the Boys' Home in Sanarpatti, bringing together parents and staff to discuss the well-being of the children. Led by Santhosh AJ, the meeting emphasized the importance of education, health, and recreational activities. Staff members, including TORP Programme Coordinator Senthil Kumar, House Parent Ravi Pandi, and Counsellor Sivaprakash, shared updates on initiatives to support the children’s growth. Parents were encouraged to actively participate in their children's lives and avoid giving money directly to them, promoting unity among the boys. The event concluded with a shared lunch, fostering meaningful interactions. Parents expressed gratitude for the opportunity to engage and thanked the staff for their commitment to the children's development. This meeting strengthened the bond between parents and staff, supporting the children’s future success.
Stitching together a brighter and more self-sufficient tomorrow
The revival of the tailoring unit in TORP Villages near KC Patti was a significant step in empowering young women and strengthening local communities. Tailoring machines were already available, and priority was given to members of Women's Self-Help Groups and their families, providing them with valuable skills for economic independence and entrepreneurship. This initiative not only enhanced financial stability but also supported the local economy by creating jobs and essential services. In addition to economic benefits, it promoted education, cultural preservation, and sustainability, paving the way for a brighter future. The re-
9
establishment of the tailoring unit marked a transformative move toward self-reliance and resilience, with women playing a central role in the region's development.
Suggestion And Complaint Boxes
Erecting suggestion and complaint boxes in both the boys' homes in Sanarpatti and the children's home in Thandigudi has several advantages, in compliance with the Juvenile Justice Act and the guidance of the District Child Protection Officer.
These are the key benefits:
The presence of complaint boxes promotes transparency and accountability in the homes, allowing residents and staff to voice concerns or suggestions anonymously. This empowers residents and aligns with child participation principles, ensuring their rights are respected. The boxes can help identify issues like abuse or neglect and provide valuable feedback for improving care, education, and facilities. They also comply with the Juvenile Justice Act and District Child Protection Officer's guidelines, fostering trust and enhancing the home's reputation. Effective management of these boxes, with prompt action and confidentiality, ensures they remain a useful tool for continuous improvement.
Transforming Education and Renewing Hope: The Journey of Thandigudi Children's Home
To enhance the quality of education at Thandigudi Children's Home, several transformative changes were implemented. The existing Headmistress, Mahalakshmi, transitioned to a maternal role, while Nithiya Jothi was appointed as the new Headmistress of the primary school, tasked with ensuring high-quality education tailored to the children's needs.
A significant milestone was the imminent renewal of the school's license, which had been unresolved for the past 18 months. The administration's tireless efforts brought the renewal process to completion, providing much-needed stability for the school's status.
To further improve the educational environment, the team from the central office conducted regular visits to interact with the children and monitor progress. These initiatives instilled confidence in the staff that the school was effectively addressing the educational needs of orphaned children. Overall, these proactive changes and collaborative efforts indicated a promising future for the children at Thandigudi Children's Home, focusing on their educational development and well-being.
Weekly Communication…
The CEO has established a practice of delivering weekly updates on activities across Goodwill Children's Home to key stakeholders, including Dr David Neil, the Chairman from the UK, and Mr Stanley Manoharan, the Secretary of Goodwill Children's Homes Tamil Nadu. These updates, which cover developments at the central office, the boys' home in Sanarpatti, the children's home in Thandigudi, the primary school, and TORP, enhance communication and keep stakeholders informed.
By documenting these updates, Goodwill fosters transparency and accountability, ensuring discussions and important matters are accurately captured for future reference. This initiative strengthens relationships with Executive Committee members, enabling informed decision-making and support. Additionally, it
10
promotes proactive communication, allowing the organisation to address issues promptly and align operations with the overall goals of Goodwill Children's Home, ultimately benefiting the children it serves.
TRIBAL OUTREACH PROGRAMME (TORP)
Sports equipment distribution by TORP
This year, TORP, in collaboration with Goodwill India, significantly enhanced physical education programmes at 11 government schools in KC Patti by providing a variety of sports materials. The distributed equipment included volleyballs, footballs, badminton bats and shuttles, jump ropes, cricket bats, basketballs, and more.
The excitement among students and teachers was evident as these schools had long faced challenges in acquiring such quality sports resources. With the new materials, students can now participate in diverse physical activities, fostering teamwork, discipline, and overall well-being.
The initiative's impact goes beyond physical fitness; it creates an environment where sports are integral to the school experience, contributing to the holistic development of students. The joy and enthusiasm during the distribution event highlighted the positive influence of proper sports infrastructure, essential for nurturing talent and building a healthier, more active generation.
Eye Camp - TORP
An eye camp was successfully conducted at KC Patti in TORP on March 10, 2024, in a joint effort by Arvind Eye Hospital and Christian Fellowship Hospital. The campaign, aimed at promoting eye health awareness, saw extensive promotional activities, including announcements in nearby villages, to ensure robust community participation.
On the day of the camp, activities ran from 8 AM to 4:30 PM, with 214 individuals from 45 villages attending. The attendees included 79 males, 134 females, and one child, reflecting the community's diversity. Comprehensive eye care services were provided to meet the varied needs of the participants.
The camp was staffed by two doctors and fourteen personnel from Arvind Eye Hospital, alongside Dr Rajakumar and Mary from the CF Hospital. Essential services rendered included blood tests, ECGs, and sugar level monitoring. The efforts of approximately twenty-five volunteers, SHG leaders, and TORP staff were instrumental in the smooth facilitation of the camp.
11
Post-screening, 74 individuals were prescribed spectacles, and 49 were recommended for eye surgery. Those in need of surgical care were transported to Theni Arvind Eye Hospital for specialized treatment and scheduled procedures. Additionally, meals were provided to all individuals identified for surgery.
The eye camp's success is a testament to the collaborative spirit and dedication of Arvind Eye Hospital and Christian Fellowship Hospital, reflecting their commitment to community health and well-being.
Research Findings – TORP Villages
At the end of 2023, a detailed socio-economic analysis of the tribal communities residing in TORPsupported villages, aiming to identify key challenges, opportunities, and recommendations for sustainable development was coordinated by Mr Senthil Kumar, assisted by Ms Amandine from France, who volunteered her time and TORP staff. A mixed-methods approach, incorporating quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews, examined demographic trends, educational enrolment, employment status, and community empowerment initiatives
The demographic analysis of tribal villages involved in the TORP Projects indicates a fairly even distribution of adult males and females, albeit with a marginal male majority. A gender imbalance is evident among those aged 18 and younger, where males outnumber females. The average household comprises around 3.6 individuals, suggesting a tightly-knit family dynamic within these communities. These insights emphasize the need for development programs to be customized to meet the varied requirements of distinct demographic groups, with a special focus on enhancing education, healthcare, and economic opportunities.
The data reveals a significant number of elderly individuals over 50 years of age and youths under 15 within the tribal populations, with a slightly higher percentage of males in both categories. This demographic
12
structure highlights the necessity for targeted measures to cater to the unique needs of the elderly and the youth, considering the gender imbalances within various age groups.
There is a continued gender gap in literacy rates within tribal communities, with males exhibiting higher literacy levels than females. Addressing this gap is vital to ensure fair educational access and to empower the marginalized sectors of these communities.
Enrolment figures for tribal communities show substantial investment in early childhood education, particularly through Anganwadi centres, and display equitable gender participation in primary and secondary education levels. However, the pursuit of higher education remains limited. Therefore, it is crucial to promote equal access to quality education for all age brackets to support comprehensive community development.
Goodwill TORP's support for tribal children includes a range of educational and socio-cultural programs, providing resources for schools and other forms of assistance. These efforts are instrumental in fostering an environment conducive to the educational and cultural enrichment of tribal children.
The analysis indicates that in villages supported by TORP, 15 residents with physical and mental disabilities have been identified, with females slightly outnumbering males. This underscores the critical need for inclusive development programs that cater to the distinct needs of disabled individuals, ensuring equitable access to community support services.
In these TORP-supported tribal villages, most of the workforce is engaged in daily wage labour, demonstrating a commendable gender parity. Nonetheless, the scarcity of private sector employment and entrepreneurial ventures calls attention to the imperative for strategies that foster formal job creation and entrepreneurial activities, thereby enhancing the community's economic landscape. Goodwill can work collaboratively to empower tribal communities, foster inclusive growth, and advance socio-economic outcomes in TORP-supported villages.
Medical Camp – TORP
On November 25, 2023, the Tribal Outreach Programme (TORP) in KC Patti, Tamil Nadu, hosted a successful medical camp in partnership with the Tamil Nadu Medical Department and Goodwill Children's Homes Charitable Society. The camp provided essential healthcare services to the local community, addressing a range of health issues.
The event, held from 9:30 AM to 3:30 PM, was attended by key figures such as the Chairman of Kodaikanal, the KC Patti councillor, and the Panchayat President. Dr Aravith Krishnan, Block Medical Officer, led the
13
camp, supported by a dedicated team of doctors and 17 paramedical staff. Services included general health checks, nutritional support for expectant mothers, diagnostic tests, and a blood donation drive.
A total of 102 individuals received care, including 32 men, 60 women, and 11 children, with 61 benefiting from Siddha treatments, integrating traditional medicine into the camp. The event highlighted the commitment to providing comprehensive healthcare to the community.
