SPONSOR A VILLAGE
Nandri are seeking community groups in Ireland to Sponsor a Village for a year. We would love to hear from Book Clubs, Women’s Groups, Retirement Groups, Sports Clubs etc. who would raise €500 to sponsor a village. We currently work in 95 villages across Northern Tamil Nadu.
Over 2.5 million people in India were diagnosed with Covid-19 since the start of June. Tamil Nadu, the region in which we work, had 300,000 of those new cases. This is having a devastating effect on marginalised communities in the rural villages.
Nandri are supporting thousands of marginalised women in the villages, through mother’s Self-Help Groups. With our continued support they are gaining economic empowerment through increased access to finance, training and education.
The €500 will provide emergency pandemic assistance for the marginalised mothers in the village, to help supply medicine food and education support for children orphaned by Covid.
The first village sponsored in this programme is Maiyanur which has kindly been sponsored by a women’s group in Bray.
If you know of a group who would help with this programme and Sponsor a Village, please ask them to contact info@nandri.org or set up directly on the Sponsor a Village page.
