General Information

Prime Trust is a small organization founded and managed by people who want to contribute to their own community.

Thanks to all the volunteers who continuously support the organization, Prime Trust has a distinctly international character. Prime Trust is a steadily growing organization, working each day to improve and develop its capability of helping women and children.

Vision & Mission

Prime Trust’s mission is to empower the rural and urban poor, enabling them to become self-reliant.

To achieve this, Prime Trust focuses on two areas:

  • Financial support
  • Education and raising awareness

We provide financial support through a linkage microfinance system and education via awareness programs conducted in our SHGs and tutoring at our remedial school. We strive to constantly expand our activities and to improve the service and knowledge we provide, in order to ensure that it is relevant for the women and children with whom we work.

Aims & Objectives

  • To provide the women of our Self-Help Groups (SHGs) with microfinance and assist them to successfully utilize the means given to them.
  • To increase the number of SHGs in Puducherry and Tamil Nadu.
  • To continuously improve the microfinance system and to make it more easily accessible for the women in the SHGs.
    To create awareness on women’s right issues.
  • To educate children and women in the local communities about HIV/AIDS.
  • To create awareness on children’s rights issues such as child labor and the right to education.
  • To offer extra schooling through remedial schools for less fortunate children.
  • To locate sponsors for children to ensure that they receive an adequate education.
