Many families from nomadic and marginalized communities continue to live in extremely vulnerable conditions, with limited access to education, healthcare, sanitation, and stable income.
Children are often exposed to unsafe environments, poor hygiene, and a lack of educational opportunities — preventing them from building a secure future.
Beyond material poverty, these communities also face social exclusion and instability that can affect generations.

Building Safer Futures Through Education
As trust grew within the community, many parents chose to send their children to school for formal education.
To support these children, Samugam created the JALY Home, a safe living environment where children can study, grow, and thrive.
Today, over 90 children benefit from:
Formal education
Nutritious meals and safe accommodation
Music, arts, and creative activities
Computer learning and educational programs
Health camps and extracurricular activities
Our goal is not only to provide care, but to help children build confidence, stability, and long-term opportunities.
Your support helps vulnerable children grow up in safety, dignity, and hope.
Every contribution helps create long-term transformation for vulnerable communities.
