Thanal Charitable Organization

The inaugural Hemodialysis Center on Amini Island, part of Lakshadweep, was founded by Thanal. This facility delivers advanced and cost-free dialysis services to the marginalized population of the Amini group of Islands. The project, realized in just 11 months, enabled patients from Kavaratti and the mainland to resume dialysis treatments, including one patient who reunited with loved ones after 2.5 years.

Since 2016, it has been collaborating with CHILDLINE India Foundation, operating under the Ministry of Women & Child Development. The organisation manages the 1098 emergency helpline service available at all times. It conducts awareness programmes in schools, offers legal assistance to children while working to strengthen the POCSO Act, provides guidance to parents and educators, and holds seminars for law enforcement and Government personnel. Alongside these efforts, the organisation implements nutritional programmes, school health projects, and educational activities.

Under the initiative of Atma Nirbhar Bharat, the focus is on harnessing island resources to contribute to the nation's development. As part of this effort, Thanal programmes include a Traditional Hat Making Unit in Kiltan, a Traditional Bakery Unit in Amini, a Coconut Climbing Unit in Kavaratti, and a Fabrication & Welding Unit in Kiltan.

Establishing links between students, teachers, and the centre, study, research, and thesis pursuits are facilitated, ensuring comfort and courtesy. The centre's appeal draws students from across the nation, providing practical exposure to social service and palliative care principles.

This initiative includes palliative medicines, rehab aids like oxygen concentrators, skilled medical personnel and volunteers. Collaborations with Pallium India nationally and Australiasian Palliative Link internationally, as well as Project Hamrahi (2013-2016).
