• TFS started collaborative effort with KMC by providing teacher training, midday meals, community linkage, man power. In return they got to use the school premises in the evening for remedial classes.
TFS Student Selection Process
• TF has an established procedure for identifying children who need their assistance. – Work with targeted communities. This results in identification
by team members or references from other parents/children.
– When a child is identified or when the organization is approached, a team is sent to conduct a comprehensive home visit.
– The team then submits it report to the sponsorship department.
– The sponsorship department, in turn, sends the report to the COO who takes the final decision after due consultation.
TFS Alumni
• What career paths do the alumni follow – In most of the cases the youths are sent for
technical/professional skill training and there after placed in suitable jobs.
