At the heart of many communities are strong women who carry the weight of their families on their shoulders. Some are widows, others are single mothers, all determined to build a better future. At Sivan Arul Foundation, we stand beside them by offering more than words of support. Through our revolving fund initiatives, we provide access to real tools that create long-term change.
The Power of a Small Start
A revolving fund is simple but powerful. A woman receives a modest amount of money to start a small business or livelihood activity. Once she gets on her feet, the same funds are passed on to another woman in need. This cycle of support continues, creating impact that grows over time.
In Thangavelayuthapuram village, for example, fourteen families received financial support through a fund made possible by Kumaran and Tharmini from Sydney. With each family receiving one lakh rupees, the project has already revolved seven times, reaching over 100 individuals. Most of them are women who have started farms, shops, or home-based businesses that help them care for their children with dignity and confidence.
Bhavani’s Story
Bhavani, a war widow and mother of three, is one such example. Life was a constant struggle until she received support from Sivan Arul. She used her funds to start a small boutique from her home. Today, her business provides not only income but a renewed sense of purpose. Her daughter, who has a congenital condition, is now thriving at university.
Bhavani’s journey reminds us that when you empower a woman, you uplift an entire family.
More Than Financial Aid
These programs are not just about money. They include training, mentoring, and regular follow-up from local women’s groups and program leaders like Chandra, who guides others through her own experience and leadership.
We ensure that every woman who receives support also receives knowledge, guidance, and confidence to manage her resources wisely and sustainably.
The Ripple Effect
Each success story encourages another. When one woman rises, she inspires others to believe that change is possible. Over time, these efforts help reduce poverty, improve children’s education, and strengthen the entire community.
Creating Hope, One Family at a Time
Through these revolving fund initiatives, we are not just supporting individuals. We are restoring hope and rebuilding the future.
We are grateful to all the donors who continue to support this program. Your generosity keeps the cycle going, creating opportunities where there were none.
