Welcome to The Samsung-United Way, School of HOPE-Chinnangudi

The Samsung-United Way, School of HOPE-Chinnangudi

Chinnangudi (Small Huts) is located on the Bay of Bengal coastline, in the Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu, India. The HOPE foundation school, is about a kilometre away from the sea and serves children from families that rely on fishing and agriculture for a living. The government recognized, English medium school is strongly supported by the community and serves 10 hamlets in and around the village.

The 246 students (Lower kindergarten to 4th standard) enjoy a 1:27 teacher to student ratio. At a recent meeting of correspondents and principals the Chief Education Officer of the district commended the school management for providing the town with high quality infrastucture. We believe it is only fair to say that this has been made possible by the coming together of the community, the Panchayat, Samsung, United Way and HOPE foundation.
