Sakthi is a registered nonprofit secular organization registered under Tamilnadu Societies Registration Act 27 of 1975 Old S.No.50 of 1993. Vidiyal was founded in 1996 as a program of Sakthi in the city of Madurai to provide safety, support, and care for children in need of protection—especially street children, runaway children, abandoned children, working children, children from socially excluded communities, and those facing difficult circumstances.

Vidiyal was founded to challenge the discriminatory practices experienced by children within their families, schools, and society at large. It enables children from the most marginalized backgrounds to access opportunities for holistic development through  Child Rights and Development Centres and education. Focusing on the social inclusion of children, Vidiyal is committed to promoting and establishing child rights, with a strong emphasis on child participation.
