School feeding: (1300 beneficiaries)
We are covering 1300 beneficiaries with 26 centres in 16 OP centers. AP state is below average in literacy we have to take much care from the primary level school going children to see that they attend schools regularly. Most of the parents engaged their grownup children to fondle their small children or to collect dried dung cake or twigs of wood to serve as firewood. But they don't like to send them to the school. And also the children become child labour in most of the areas. Now our focus is on child labour schools with the collaboration of the State Government the development of National Child Labour Program . We are supporting 12 Child Labour schools in our jurisdiction. The total numbers will be more than 1200 children. Really our CRS food is giving them strength in mentally and physically especially for the child labour centers. This mainly due to poverty, when we started giving cooked food in the school the school attendance and strength also increased because of CRS food. Many children are coming from poor families, in morning time they are coming with empty stomach to the school. After taking this breakfast the children are concentrating and showing interest in the studies. This food program is giving not only for the children in the private schools but also covering the primary run by Mandla Pareshath, Zilla Pareshath, Municipalities and those run by Government schools. Keeping all these good reasons we want to cover 3870 children for the year 2006 because primary education is important than any other education for a child. As we mentioned in the above our focus is on child labour schools and we plan to start more schools for the remote villages also with the co-operation and collaboration of the Government development.

Other Child Feeding: (2705 beneficiaries)
This area is fertile but all most all the lands belong to the rich people of the higher castes which for only 15% of the total population. Many children from remote areas are joining in the parish boarding's. not only parish boarding's also we provided food for the lay people boarding's. they do not have boardings even high schools to stay and study there. Year by year children are increasing in the boarding's because the poor parents are not able to provide study for there children. Boardings are very essential in this situation to promote and help to the real poor children for their future education line.

Individual Health Care: (1500 beneficiaries)
Our diocese jurisdiction is tropical and humidity is more. The people of this area are very very poor and also old and destitute are also very high range. Really they do not take nutritious foods due to poverty. They do not follow Hygienic Habits lake of facilities and poverty. As a result of this some of the people succumb to leprosy and HIV/AIDS etc., it has become essential to run IHC. The real sufferers are in this area we supply this food commodity. This program is 100% useful to this old age and those who are suffering with HIV/AIDS people. They are ever grateful to CRS.

Premanvitha: The government has entrusted a school of Premanvitha which is located at Eluru aim to provide education for the physically challenged children. Social Service Centre is running the school in order to achieve the set objectives with a great spirit of commitment and dedication.
