PROJECT DETAILS
Since the inception of TGG Foundation in 2014, our journey has made significant progress in establishing exemplary projects and initiatives. These endeavors are designed to enrich people’s experiences, foster a connection with the natural world, promote compassionate thinking, and encourage collective action devoid of selfish motives. In a society often characterized by competitiveness and exploitation, our path has felt akin to swimming against the prevailing current.
Currently, we operate from leased facility, which results in high operational expenses. Our primary objective is to offer complimentary dorms to students, inspiring them to explore travel and engage in volunteer activities after completing high school. This experience aims to provide them with a more profound understanding of human life and cultivate a sense of gratitude as they embark on their life journey.
As our mission expands to reach more individuals and build a global community of responsible humans, the imperative to create additional infrastructure becomes evident. This expansion cannot be realised within the confines of rented premises. In addition, our members, associates, and faculty require lodging when they visit us for various community development projects, research, and workshops.
We are excited to announce that the TGG Foundation has already acquired nearly 13,000 sq ft of land in Wayanad for the development of our first RHM Center and the well work for drinking water and other operational activities are in progress. This space will also provide Experiential Learning opportunities to people from diverse interests such as Camping, Water Conservation, Composting, Vertical farming, Tiny home designing, renewable energy, smokeless cooking solutions using firewood and traditional cooking using homegrown and naturally available spinach, yams, fruits, berries, etc. Preferences will be to promote vegetarian and vegan foods, however curd and eggs are recommended.
Once the land development is complete, first priority is given to develop facility to accommodate two faculty members followed by dorms for a minimum of 8 students and double room with en-suite bath for volunteering opting for Global Citizen program at the RHM Center. Rest of the project will be developed based on the availability of funds.
Our top priority is to ensure access to clean drinking water and to work on a water conservation project to carefully manage rain water within the land. To achieve this, we’ve already have Rs. 1 lakh and require an additional Rs. 2 lakhs to complete this primary work before we start the construction.
The total estimated cost of the RHM Center project is approximately Rs. 2 crores. 100% of all funds raised will be allocated towards land development, constructing volunteer accommodations, Creative Center, Coordination Center, and creating a welcoming “Home Away from Home.”
