UWM set up the Family Strengthening project in Tirupati with the objective to educate children from vulnerable backgrounds through facilitation of educational services. The program, undertaken with Hershey's Company and SOS Children's Villages, targeted single parent or women headed families in order to provide education to the children, but also livelihood to their parents or caregivers, in order to encourage both, parent and child, towards education.
The program comprised ensuring availability of education to the children, facilitating their health and enabling financial independence to their caregivers. The Family Strengthening Programme provided assistance to 146 children from vulnerable families under the Project.
