Value Based Education

VR1 Trust Ensures

Transparency

You can monitor every penny you have donated for a child on a day-to-day basis on the website.

You can also regularly interact with the children online or visit our VR1 HOME in person and monitor their progress.

We invite highly experienced and responsible people known for their sincerity and honesty to take up the 'power of authentication'. They include not only retired IAS and IPS officers but also people of sterling character from all walks of life. In our pilot project, the 'power of authentication' has been taken up by Mr.Rama Rao, a retired Asst. Commissioner of Police who was conferred the highly prestigious “Indian Police Medal” by the President of India in 1995. He was also awarded the “Uttama Seva Pathakam” and the “Mahonnatha Seva Pathakam” by the State Government. He has also received 9 meritorious awards and 365 service awards.

He has kindly consented to shoulder the responsibility of monitoring the flow of VR1 funds.

Beyond The ZERO HEAD Organization

At VR1, none of the board members have remunerative roles. The funds are never used to meet the administrative and office expenditure. On the contrary, the board members and organizers themselves contribute to the fund. Through various activities that they organize, they add more than 20% to your donation!

Win - Win - Win Model

You Win, the Child Wins and the Society Wins too! Success begins with you, expands to the child you adopt and ultimately spreads to the entire society. Thus, your ‘donation’ is an ‘investment’ towards the betterment of society.

Structure Of CAP

2000 VR1 HOMES have been planned across INDIA by the VR1 trust in order to organize various projects as a part of the Child Adoption Program (CAP).

1) CAP 1: For Underprivileged Children

2. Semi-orphans
3. Poor children

Selection for CAP 1

Children can be identified by either students or sponsors. This is done in two steps.

Step1: Students can identify children and post their profiles on www.vr1forever.org.

Step2: Whoever wants to adopt can select a child from the website.

OR

A child can be selected by the Trust on behalf of the sponsors.

If you can donate just Rs. 3000 per annum, you can adopt a child through VR1 HOME! You are not only building the future of a child but also that of a nation.

2) CAP 2: For All The Children

Under CAP 2, all the children irrespective of their backgrounds are trained through organized workshops.

The best feature about this initiative is that it is not exclusively for the privileged or underprivileged. It is designed to benefit every single student because every child counts in building the nation.

Selection For CAP 2:
