Initial Days
The idea of starting Sphoorti was developed in early 2005. Things started moving only after a year. We had a tough time looking for people who would believe and support us, and at the same time, there was plenty of ridicule and opposition from many quarters. Few people were willing to lease out their premises to Sphoorti; we could finally rent the existing premises after a lot of search and persuasion. We finally started our activities in August 2006 with three children.

The Journey
At the end of the first year, we had 32 children and, 53 children at the end of the second year. In August 2008, we moved the boys into new premises in the neighborhood. In 2009, we constructed a Home for Girls and are currentlly adding another floor. In August 2009, we took possession of three acres of land allotted by the Government.       

The Next Steps
We are starting work on our long term project - The Dundigal Campus project. First off, we plan to construct a Compound Wall and subsequently the School and other infrastructure.
