Completed Counseling and Short Stay Home for WED Trust

I write you as a volunteer staying for one month in Chellampatti visiting WED Trust. I’m Swiss and studying law in the sixth semester at the University of St.Gallen. Every day I learn more about their interesting work and I’m very impressed about the great variety of their projects and also about the achievements through their engagement. Now I write you to tell about the finish of the Short Stay House. The WED Trust Team told me, that this was only possible to be build with your generous donation. I was very happy when I heard this and I made some pictures of the house to show you how it looks like. You will find the document with the pictures attached, I hope you will like it as well as I do. Ms. Logamani and Mr. Dharma Neethi as well as the whole staff of WED Trust are looking forward to move in it soon.

WED Trust reached a total found of RS 1’257’399.00, which is fully used for the construction of the house. The building will be completed with a car shed to keep safety their four wheelers and two wheelers, for which WED Trust still needs RS 100’000. This car shed could also be used for public meetings. On the first floor there are three rooms. One will be used for the staff, one as a documentation room and one as office Ms. Logamani and Mr. Dharma Neethi. On the second floor you find the guest room for visitors or counseling with western bath and the important short stay room for women in emergency. They will find a protected home for themselves and their children as long as they need it. They will be save and get the help they need most. They also can use the kitchen and the bath attached to this room. On the roof is a new water tank and also much space to dry Spirulina and for the ones who want to enjoy the beautiful view.

With this letter I – in the name of myself and the WED Trust team – would like to say thank you for your generous donation, which has made possible the construction of this Short Stay House. The new building will be very useful for the important work of WED Trust. It gives women who are treated with violence the chance to have a place where they are safe and get the help they need. They have the possibility to get out of bad treatment and change their life. Hopefully more such houses are constructed in India in future.

With kind regards,
