Community Action for Rural Development (CARD)

Tamil Nadu

CARD promotes education, health, livelihood, environment and women development projects. The organisation majorly works with school children, alcohol and drug addicts, poor women and small and marginal farmers.

The educational support to school children was started to help poor rural children meet their educational needs. There is a very good response among the poor parents and students. About 1000 students have benefitted from their initiatives so far. This program has even encouraged the girls to go for secondary and higher secondary education.
