“We think sometimes that poverty is only being hungry, naked and homeless. The poverty of being unwanted, unloved and uncared for is the greatest poverty. We must start in our own homes to remedy this kind of poverty.” — Mother Teresa

This tribal area is border of Andhra Pradesh and Orissa of Eastern Ghats. It's almost 3700 feet high from the sea level. This place is very cool due to total thick forest and covered with hills and valleys. The major tribal groups found in the district are Bagata, Kotiya, Kondadora, Nookadora Konda Kammara, Konda Kapu, Gadaba, Mali, Porja, Mannedora, Khond and Valmiki. Among these tribes, Kodu, Porja and Gadaba are considered to be the most Primitive tribes.
It was started on May 16th, 2011, we took our first step in this tribal land with combined effort and dedication to initiate an Independent and Voluntary Charitable Organization called "TOUCH FOUNDATION” (Tribal Orphans & Unprivileged Children Help) with Registration No: 2024/406 working to develop the tribal rural people of India, providing nutrition to school children, day care centers, orphanages and scholarships to poor students.
The organization was established for the welfare of society by organising youth skill development centres, adult literacy, old age homes, cultivation (helping farmers), medical camps, women empowerment, environmental protection, crime control and all other social & cultural activities.

TS works to bring hopes to the Society and especially to those deprived ones – first by identifying them, and then by taking most suitable rescues steps for them – so that they are brought back to the main stream and so that they acquire the same dignity and happy stature that every Man in the world has a right to get.
The mission of TOUCH is to develop a pathway for children living in rural regions of India to become integral members and leaders in society through a holistic approach that nourishes the child mentally, physically and emotionally. TOUCH is committed to cultivating the academic potential of each child through quality education and healthcare; with a comprehensive range of opportunities in primary school to prepare students for the next level of education, and to support those efforts through secondary and tertiary school scholarships.
TOUCH believes it is every child’s birthright to provide Hope for a better future through access to quality Education and to receive unconditional Love and Protection from disease and illness. To one day see a world in which children from the most impoverished regions have access to the quality education they need to lift their families, their countries, and themselves out of poverty. TOUCH envisions a school as not only a safe place that educates students, but also an environment that provides students with the necessary foundation to foster future growth to be productive citizens and future leaders.
