OUR
PROJECTS

​Beginning in December 2020, our program started with four Kurumba hamlets in the Nilgiris, benefiting

around 250 members by improving nutrition, anaemia, and overall health, with a significant success rate of 84% and doubling the growth rate of malnourished children. This initiative, now known as Project Thrive, focuses on anaemia interventions.
 

In its second year, two government tribal residential schools were added, incorporating health, hygiene, and nutrition education through innovative teaching methods. Programs like Health Clubs encouraged

behavioural changes, and collaboration with the government ensured students received iron and Vitamin C supplements, showing growth improvements of 84% in 2023 and 90% in 2024. Currently, this initiative, known as Project Enrich, includes three additional schools, reaching about 700 students.

 

In year four, we added a third project, Project Nourish: Malnutrition in Under-6-year-olds & AN/PN Mothers, to deal with malnourishment in under-6-year-old children as well as expectant

and lactating mothers. We are in the 12th month of this two-year project and have already seen 99%

improvement in the nourishment levels of the participants, with 50% of the 250 participants changing their status from severe to moderate and moderate to normal. The awareness-building program, which runs alongside, has ensured that the mothers and caregivers of the malnourished children are equipped with the necessary knowledge to understand the diet and supplements which will keep their families healthy and nourished in the years to come.
