One of Ouvaiyaar’s foundational messagesfrom Aathichoodi
‘அறம் செய்ய விரும்பு’ (Aram Seiya Virumbu) — “Learn to love virtue”. This guiding principle deeply resonates with the Ouvai Foundation’s commitment to society.
Drawing from Ouvaiyaar’s legacy of service through compassion, knowledge, and human values, the Ouvai Foundation brings this spirit into the 21st century. We champion well-being education for children, youth, and adults—empowering individuals and communities to foster sustainable development and lasting change in the world.
Ouvai Foundation was registered in December 2024. It is an Educational Non-profit organisation dedicated to fostering well-being education for sustainable development through formal and informal experiential learning methods aligning to the social values and development goals, like; Sustainable Development Goals (SDG-3,4,5,16) across socio-emotional and educational dimensions.
Across socio-economic backgrounds, school students face significant challenges in navigating peer pressure and societal expectations. They often struggle to develop and embody well-being practices and essential social values in their daily lives, highlighting a critical gap in socio-emotional and life skills education."
Ouvai intends to work on the problem statement by collaborating with schools and communities in Tamil Nadu & other Indian states by providing data-driven strategies to bring impact through workshops, training and evaluations. The parents of children shall be informed & involved in building mindful practices of well-being for students at home and out of school environment too.
