Transforming lives...inventing the future

The Sugun Thomas Foundation was created to commemorate the life and good deeds of Sugun Thomas, who passed away on October 27, 2005 at the age of 39.

Sugun was a positive force who touched the hearts and minds of hundreds of people with his generosity of spirit, irrepressible sense of fun and a belief in living life to the full.  His family and friends decided that a trust fund which would further the causes that were close to Sugun's heart, would be a fitting and enduring memorial to his name.

The Sugun Thomas Foundation, which is a registered charitable trust based in Chennai, India was launched in December 2005, and will appeal to those who wish to see a permanent endowment established in support of the Trust's objectives.

The objectives of the Trust are:

• To help provide educational and social opportunities for young people that will enable them to address issues of inequality and disadvantage.
• To help raise a generation of responsible and creative individuals, active in shaping their own lives, local communities, and the future of the country.
• To promote all kinds of initiatives aimed at providing equal educational opportunities, helping young people solve their problems, encouraging self-reliance and in the process integrating children from different economic and cultural backgrounds.

Many young people today face problems such as economic hardship, conflicts at home and school, unequal educational opportunities, unemployment, and unclear career prospects. The aim is to give grants where they will have a direct and significant impact on the lives of deserving young people.

Based on the above,the immediate programme is:

• To assist promising students in need of financial support  to achieve their potential and further their development.
• To improve their employment prospects by providing the required facilities for higher education.

The Trust's income will come mainly from the proceeds of events and from general donations.
