Donate for the Homeless Communities in Birudhur

Campaign by United Way of Chennai

Story

In the village of Birudur, in Vandavasi taluk in Tamil Nadu, India, there are 10 homeless families from socially and economically backward communities who have been living beside the highway for generations. Eleven of these families are single-woman families struggling to make ends meet. They live in ramshackle structures – mud walls with thatched roofs that leak when it rains. If they can afford it, they get some plastic sheets to keep out the rain. These communities’ homes are marked for demolition as the highway is set to be widened. However, the High Court has intervened and based on a court order 2 cents of land with ‘Patta’ have been allocated in an area close by. In this effort, the local Panchayat President and the Tehsildar were fully involved.

However, with the allotment of land completed, there is further impetus to move them from their present dwellings. These families lack the wherewithal to take up the construction of their own houses. At this point, some citizen volunteers approached us to help them raise funds to build homes for these 10 families. They have already onboarded a local construction company that has come up with a simple, functional, and low-cost yet durable design for the homes. The Panchayat President has assured them of individual electricity and a common water connection. Each home, measuring 360 sq feet, will cost nearly Rs 4 lakhs!! Yes, you read that right, Rs 4 lakhs. That is all it will cost for us to give these vulnerable tribal families, the comfort, and safety of their own homes!

Let’s try to come together to help them build a house that helps generations ahead. To live better, we must live united. It is rightly said that every drop makes an ocean, and for this cause, every little drop counts. Please contribute generously and help us find them homes. Every donation will be eligible for tax exemption under Section 80G.
