Host a fundraiser

Bring a few people together for Pudiyador. For 25 years, our learning centres in Chennai have given children space to learn, play, and grow after school. You can help keep that work going by inviting your friends, family, or colleagues to give.

Celebrate a birthday by asking for gifts to Pudiyador.
Host a dinner, chai evening, or small concert.
Take on a walk, run, or reading challenge.
Make Pudiyador part of your workplace, Diwali, or Pongal gathering.

You don’t need a big event or fundraising experience. We’ll help you choose an idea, share stories and photos, and arrange a giving link so gifts reach the right Pudiyador organization.
