Social Involvement

Don Bosco Veedu is a socially conscious organisation. We keep our eyes open to what is happening in our society and become aware of the welfare of mainly the marginalised and how we can contribute to their well-being.

DREAM

A project that focuses on rebuilding a drug-free society, primarily catering to children and youth. We work in collaboration with schools and other governmental agencies. This involves awareness creation, prevention, counselling, rehabilitation, etc... This is a state-level operation of the Salesians of Don Bosco.

The activities include

KEEN

This project is implemented in Karimadom, an urban slum in Trivandrum, Kerala, India. The majority of the people are headload workers in the marketplace, and the needs of their children are often unattended. The KEEN initiative is a tool to empower the residents of Karimadom to be socially, psychologically, and economically independent and reach sustainability.
