- Organic Desalination
- We have facilitated the desalinating of 60 acres of agricultural land in Kandakaddu in Cuddalore District. This land was rendered useless by the flooding of tsunami salt water. The desalination process was a completely organic process.
- School Renovation and Village Rebuilding
- The Family India, with the help of several donor agencies was able to provide 59 new houses to the residents of a tsunami-affected village in Tamil Nadu called Ponanthittu. Each of these houses has a living room, kitchen, bedroom, bathroom, and staircase leading up to the terrace.
- Providing Tools to Boat Workers
- Not only did the tsunami ravage the lives of the fishermen, it also hit the lives of those who earn a living by providing services to the fishing industry. The Family India has been helping these allied workers by making it possible for them to be self-reliant once again.
- Community Boat Project
- Thousands upon thousands of fishermen lost their boats in the tsunami, thereby losing the one means they had of supporting themselves and their families. We soon realized that simply giving them relief supplies was not enough.
- Emotional Support to Children
- The tsunami exacted a heavy emotional toll on thousands of children who were traumatized by the disaster. Many of them don’t want to go anywhere near the sea again, others have recurring nightmares, and most live in a state of fear.
- Immediate Relief
- The devastation that faced our team of Family volunteers when we traveled to Tamil Nadu after the South Asian Tsunami was overwhelming! The first task that lay before us was to provide food and essential household items to those who had lost everything they owned. They needed to eat!
- The “Tools for Schools” Sponsorship Programme
- We have co-produced and put together a library of unique character-building materials for school children called Tools for Schools.
- Initiatives for Junior School Children
- Our young people conduct unique, interactive, and high-impact music and theatre programmes highlighting values that we would all like to see in children.
- Character Education for Teenagers
- Tomorrow’s world will be as morally sound as the children of today make it in the future. We therefore endeavour to provide them with the input that they need to help them become good human beings. We have seen that students will learn best the subjects that they enjoy the most.
- Seminars for Teachers and Parents
- The Family India conducts a wide variety of motivational seminars for teachers and parents. The world of tomorrow will be what the parents, teachers, and caregivers of today make it. We are, therefore, committed to providing them with the support and input that they need to build that future.
