SEED – The Society to Educate and Empower the Differently Skilled, has embarked on an ambitious journey to establish a school specifically designed for children with special needs. 55 cents of land has been acquired at Malamukal, Trivandrum, where the construction of a state-of-the-art educational facility is currently underway.
The new school will provide an inclusive and supportive learning environment tailored to the unique requirements of differently skilled children. At SEED, we are committed to fostering an environment of growth, empowerment, and excellence, ensuring every child receives the education and support they deserve.
We are excited to announce the commencement of Phase 1 of our project, which is estimated to cost Rs. 50 Lakhs. This ambitious endeavour aims to create a nurturing and empowering environment for the differently skilled individuals in our community. We invite you to contribute to this noble cause. Your generous donations will help us make a significant difference in the lives of those we aim to support. Any amount, however small, will be greatly appreciated.

It is heartening and fulfilling to see the passion and dedication of the teachers AND the enthusiasm from the students and their eagerness to learn.

Lower Level: This level, which has direct access from the approach road, is designated for parking facilities. It will provide ample space for vehicles, ensuring convenient entry and exit for staff, students, and visitors.
The middle terrace will house the administration building. This centrally located structure will be accessible from both the lower and upper levels. The administration building will serve as the heart of the campus, incorporating administrative offices, teaching rooms, a library, and other essential facilities.
