Russ Foundation

Russ Foundation is a Community Project administered by Indians in India. It is a registered charity in the state of Tamil Nadu (Tamil Nadu Societies Registration Act 1975 S.No. 210 of 1992). It is located near the village of Chathirathondamanpathi about twenty miles from the large city of Madurai. Russ Foundation aims to become a focus for the community. It provides a home for local children who are parentless or disadvantaged, and it offers local people training, education and some employment. It is a successful project so far, partly owing to the vision and organisational skills of the father and son team who lead it, but the ongoing development of this small project is always dependent upon available funds
