The waterways stretching from the Ennore Creek to the northern end of the Pulicat lake was once covered with mangroves. Project Alaiyathi is centered around the community based restoration and management of this lost mangrove Ecosystem. 
 Project Alaiyathi is working along with the local fisherfolk towards restoring, strengthening and conserving the community managed ‘ Million Mangroves Initiative.The aim is to plant and sustain a million mangroves on the banks of the Kosasthalyar River, Buckingham Canal and Pulicat Lake. 
 <ul><li>Mangroves are amongst the best sources of carbon sequestration. Mangroves sequester carbon far more effectively (up to 100 times faster) and 5 times more per hectare than terrestrial forests.</li><li>This region acts as one of the main drains for Chennai City’s flood waters. Mangroves can reduce upto 66% of wave height, reducing soil erosion and the intensity of flooding during heavy monsoon years.</li><li>Mature mangroves show high resilience to strong winds and hence make excellent windbreakers. They will improve climate resilience in this area, where disruptive climate events like cyclones and flooding are becoming more frequent.</li><li>Increased numbers of tiger prawns, mud crabs, white prawns, mudskippers, and sea bass will rise, improving the health of the aquatic ecosystems and also catch for the marginalized subsistence fisher folk. </li><li>Mangroves are safe aviaries, and one can expect a rise in local avian life. </li></ul>

The "Empowering Tribal Women Through Nutrition Kits" project is dedicated to improving the health and well-being of 250 tribal women in remote communities. These women often face nutritional deficiencies due to limited access to diverse foods and a lack of awareness about proper nutrition. Our carefully curated nutrition kits, including health mixes, sesame balls, and dates, aim to supplement essential vitamins and minerals, tailored to meet their dietary needs and cultural preferences.Through educational components, we empower women with knowledge about balanced nutrition and healthy cooking methods. Additionally, a robust monitoring and evaluation system will track the impact of the kits on health outcomes, ensuring effectiveness. Your support can make a difference in enhancing the overall health of tribal women, strengthening their communities, and contributing to sustainable development. Join us in creating a brighter and healthier future for marginalized women by supporting this vital initiative.Support our mission to empower tribal women by contributing to our nutrition kit project. Your donation will help improve the health and well-being of these women and their communities. Together, let's make a lasting impact on their lives.

According to researches, 23% of girls in India give up on school after reaching puberty for two reasons. Firstly, they can’t afford to pay for appropriate sanitary products, making it difficult for them to leave the house. A shocking 88% of women resort to using unsanitized cloths, ashes and husk sand. Secondly, schools are not equipped with separate toilets or running water so girls have no means to privately dispose of their used pads. 
 We realised that regular water supply and sanitation facilities in schools encourage children to attend regularly, in turn, helping them to achieve their educational goals.Initially we teach girls the importance of sanitation and how to be sanitar, then install vending machines containing sanitary towels in governments schools. A packet costs Rs.2, making it far more affordable for girls to safely menstruate. 
 This project will improve the enrolment and attendance of girls in school, while increasing their understanding of health problems caused by menstruation. Proper hygiene and low cost sanitary pads will ensure that these girls live a healthy life.

Provide sanitation facilities to young, poor school girls

While women form almost 45% of the population in India, their contribution to the entire labour force is only about 22%. If a woman is not financially independent, she is at the mercy of her husband or parents. Not only do these figures go against the economy, it also leaves the women of the country dependent on the men in the family. 
 We identified 11 tribal villages in Kancheepuram District of Tamil Nadu that needed urgent help, as the condition of the women here was deplorable. To support these women, we created 14 self-help groups functioning actively with 232 members. We plan to train women in various livelihood skills such as cattle rearing, small business development, and charcoal making. After full training, we will help them to access micro credit to start their own income generation/small business activities. 
 Your donations to this project will change the life of 232 women and in turn help their families have a better life too.

Association for Sustainable Community Development is a non-profit voluntary organization operating in the rural areas of Tamilnadu. Our organization helps in promoting and developing the socio-economic conditions of people in rural communities. Initially, our priority was to provide healthcare facilities to people living in remote areas, then we shifted our focus to empowering rural women as they were subjected to gender inequality, domestic violence, and no access to livelihood opportunities.Our intention is to provide education and healthcare to people living in rural Tamil Nadu and to organise them into self-help groups (SHGs).Our SHG members are encouraged to regularly save money while benefiting from micro loans. We link these groups with commercial banks in order for members to easily borrow money. The formation of the common-interest group has had a substantial impact on the lives of women, improving their status and their self-esteem. We also provide basic education to women and encourage them to send their children to school.After the devastating Tsunami in 2004, we partnered with other development organisations to assist those affected by the disaster in coastal Tamil Nadu. Furthermore, we have provided basic lessons in health and sanitation to improve the way rural people live; hopefully resulting in less disease and infection cases.
