Project Identity #9 - Rural Education & Community

Organisation (RECO) Trust, Theni

Agni Foundation provided digital identity to RECO, an NGO that not only empowers the women and
children with hope and faith, but it also show cases to the world the power of Women. RECO is all
women organization managed and conducted by women with a sincere motto to give back to the
community.

The project Director, Mrs. K. Parwathi during her interaction with the Chief Operating Officer of Agni
Foundation said this organisation came to life in 2004 when a group of the likeminded women put
together their social conscious thoughts into action and started implementing empowerment initiatives
such as Orphanages, Old age home, hostels for kids perusing education, skill development and
sustenance. Started with just 10 now reached to 50 inhabitants.
The team lead by Mrs. K. Parwathi has not only impacted the lives of the orphans but also extended the
support and guidance for the self-reliance of 300 plus families belonging to disadvantaged, and

marginalised pockets of the society. Mrs. Parwathi said, RECO ensures that quality education is imparted
to all the kids who count on their future with RECO. Apart from that the NGO is successfully creating
sustainable and equitable society through inclusive initiatives such as Self Help Groups. Under RECOs
support over 150 SHGs works together, faces odds together and reap success together. Monthly basis
RECO handles and provide legal, police and official solutions to the problems of all 150 SHGs facing on
the course of their operations.

The worthy mentions of RECOs services include voicing their societal concern to the governments,
Evening coaching classes to the bright young minds, skills sets honing sessions for school kids so on.
During her interaction with COO of Agni Foundation she said, though RECO has been doing a very
diversified service to the needy and poor across all age groups, financial disparities and geographical
segmentations like rural and urban areas, still the right recognition and the awareness of the
organisation is very poor. The reason is they dont have funds to spend for the marketing of their trust.
She even added a couple of years ago she had a website, which is now down due to the financial
constraint.
She thanked Agni Foundation from the bottom of her heart that, the foundation is rendering the right
support for their initiative quite rightly at the right time. She praised the Chief Patron of Agni Foundation

Mr. J. Agnishwar and his effective team thats providing digital identity to the NGOs, which is an ultimate
gift an NGO can get in the present technologically connected global community.

Launching the website, Dr. Sundaramurthy- the Chief Guest thanked Agni Foundation for their befitting
service in touch with the e-age requirement. He said he want, the world to see, how positive, how
enthusiastic these kids are there at RECO.
During the icebreaker he asked the kids to name their best friend, why they like him/her. Surprisingly all
the kids spotted the best friends invariably imbued with helping tendency. That quality of helping
inspires us all at Agni Foundation, because helping is the only way of becoming friends and nurturing
trust, precisely thats what Project Identity of Agni Foundation aims to accomplish. Throwing lights on
the deserving NGOs and placing them online, so that they can be seen and helped from anywhere, any
time.
Conducting the Project Heart competition among the kids and giving away medals as a token of
appreciation, along with the positive thoughts shared by Chief Guest : whoever failing in any attempt
has ability to succeed in the same task, Failure is just success delayed and kids should never lose
confidence.

With those positive pointers, laughter and singing by Mrs. Ishwari, the Manager of RECO who cultural
programs for creating awareness, we at Agni Foundation salutes the women of substance at RECO.
