Rosi Foundation

Rural Organising for Social Improvement Foundation (ROSI) works towards the development of tribal communities and Dalits living in rural districts of Read moreTamil Nadu. We run projects for women empowerment; educating poor children; providing alternative livelihoods; helping the abandoned elderly; and assisting in legal advocacy for victims of human trafficking or exploitation. Dalits and tribal communities fall into the most marginalised sections of society for reasons such as their primitive education, discriminated status, and limited income. Even worse, some remote areas have to survive without electricity or proper roads connecting them to cities. We supply training in alternative methods of earning a living, such as dairy farming, honey harvesting, and goat rearing. Furthermore, we provide elderly care homes, legal advocacy, and counselling to human trafficking victims. We also provide solar lanterns and huts to those living in the most primal conditions and run crèches and schools where stationery is distributed freely to tribal children.
