Supporting Tribal People
A child from a tribal community receives a blanket for the winter. The children also receive raincoats and books for school.
Tribal Welfare Programme supports tribal communities living in the rainforest region, located 70 kilometres from Sri Narayani Peedam. Donations include desks, benches, books and stationery for schools and students, as well as raincoats, blankets for children and the elderly. Basic health services are offered to all.
Sri Sakthi Amma talks regularly to the children of the tribal communities on the importance of taking care of nature and the environment they live in.
