Unbelievable once in a lifetime opportunities to help you excel

“I am very thankful to GMR Varalakshmi Foundation for all the support that they have extended for my education. Now I have completed a non-degree course on Hospitality Management at Kirkwood Community College - USA. For me this opportunity is a miracle and happened only because of GMRVF. With folded hands, I wholeheartedly thank Shri. G M Rao Garu for giving me this new life. I also thank Shri. Parameswaran Sivalingam for sponsoring my education from Std. VI to Std. XII”

Better health brought right to the doorstep

"As soon as I came to know that the Mobile Medical Unit regularly visited my village equipped with a trained staff and provided medicines free of cost, I decided to approach them. I was checked thoroughly by the team and received medicines for my ailment. I am privileged to have received free treatment right at my doorstep. I must say that these camps are a boon to our tribal community"

A source of strength for those who dare to dream

"I used to feel that due to my low education level I will not be good at any work and hence would not be able to earn any money for my family. However, after joining GMRVF training, I acquired many skills which are of immense help to me. My future plan is to open a big store equipped with modern sewing machines and also to give back to the community by training less-fortunate women for free"
