Sitpi Academy is a strong believer in giving back, empowering women, ensuring accessibility to education to children, building communities and uplifting the lives of those under the severe poverty line in Ealam. Sitpi collaborates with AYYAPPAN ILLAM and NESAKARANGAL to execute these initiatives and projects in Eelam. In rural Battical district, few homes have been built for families under poverty. In the Northern provinces of Eelam, Women Empowerment Projects have been completed and continuously in progress, computer training centres and sewing centers and stores have been opened, bicycles have been donated for students who live in considerable distance from schools, essential school supplies are provided to those identified to be in need and yoga classes are in session virtually on a weekly basis, all for free at cost. 

Within such a short period of time, thousands of our Eelam families have benefited from these initiatives, and continue to be empowered and using the facilities and opportunities to uplift their current living conditions. Not only for Eelam, Sitpi also takes part in fundraising activities for charities close to home in Canada as well. 

With a dedicated team of young instructors who are children of first generation immigrants in Canada, Sitpi Academy proudly sets the stage for taking TAMIL to the next generation. Sitpi may have been a founder's dream, but with the visionary and selfless team we have now grown into, it has become the ultimate aspiration for all. 

Sitpi Academy strongly believes in giving back to the community, whether it be the less fortunate Eelam Tamils or our local Canadian charities. Thus far, Sitpi has donated proceeds from students tuition fees towards children homes in affected rural Eelam areas, built homes for the families under severe poverty in rural areas in Batticalo, Srilanka (Matakalapu) and participated in fundraising activities with the South Asian Autistic Awareness Centre (SAAAC) and Sickkids Foundation. Sitpi will continue its philanthropic efforts in our homeland and will continue to serve charities close to home in Canada.

WOMEN EMPOWERMENT IN EELAM

That’s Our Ultimate Goal!!!!! @sitpi.academy in collaboration with @nesakkarangal have been working on PROJECTS in relations with EMPOWERING WOMEN, ensuring accessibility to EDUCATION and BUILDING COMMUNITIES, especially uplifting the lives of those under the severe poverty line in NORTHEAST Province of Our EELAM.
Our Founder @sinduthava had a chance to personally visit these women groups in the affected areas in Eelam in January 2023, where on behalf of nesakarangal, she initiated the women empowerment projects and laid foundation for many more upcoming projects in 2023.
These women groups, each consist of 10 to 15 members from each villages in northeast provinces. Each group is donated 25K Rupees, and using these funds, they will assist other women and other people in villages, support for small work/business start ups among them, and find more ways to multiple their initial investment and significantly improve their living conditions. There’s currently 100 groups of women. The long-term plan is to have 400 groups in 4 years, and then they will create another 100 groups using their fund. This project has created opportunities for these women, uplifted and continue to improve their lives significantly. This is WOMEN EMPOWERMENT.
