Since 1988 we have been dramatically changing the lives of over 400,000 rural poor in southern Tamil Nadu through our partner organisation Social Change and Development (SCAD). We support a wide range of education, health and community projects and promote sound environmental and
sustainable practices. We are the principle funder of SCAD and have raised nearly 3 million GBP for the work they do in over 500 rural villages. We are an all volunteer charity and every penny we receive is sent to SCAD without any deductions.

Over the years the work that we have funded in the rural villages has made a tremendous difference to the lives of the people. The villages who are fortunate to have been "adopted" are now much more active and prosperous than others. he villagers themselves are more confident and self-sufficient, their health care is vastly improved and the children are better educated. There is a growing sense of empowerment spearheaded by the 3,000 plus Women's Self Help Groups
and a sense of hope and expectation where none existed before.
