Creating Change, Building Futures and Transforming Communities with Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) Partnerships
Nourishing Communities Through Innovation: The Millet Processing Centre
With the support of UST, Thanal proudly inaugurated the Millet Processing Centre in Sambarcode hamlet, Attappadi, on 20 December 2021. This initiative brought tremendous benefits to Attappadi, making millet processing more efficient, enhancing product saleability, increasing profits for farmers, creating job opportunities for local youth, and promoting the consumption of nutritious food within the community.The Millet Processing Centre is currently run by a group of women, aligning with our goals on women empowerment.
Empowering Communities with Clean Water
Launched in January 2022, our Community Drinking Water Project in Manakkayam hamlet, Ranni, Pathanamthitta, has brought clean drinking water to 27 tribal families. Thanks to the generous support of Mahindra Logistics Ltd's CSR initiative 'Sankalp,' we've been able to make a life-changing difference for this water-deprived community.Previously, these families had to walk 2 kilometers to access clean drinking water, and during summer, they faced severe water scarcity in the area. This drinking water project has put an end to years of water crisis, providing a reliable and sustainable source of clean water for the community.
Rainwater Harvester: Bridging Gaps, Transforming Lives
For over a year, students from the Govt LPS school, Madamon North, Ranni, faced a severe water crisis. The 50 tribal children and staff of this school, where our tribal beneficiaries’ kids are studying, were suffering due to an acute water crisis as the old harvester got damaged, and they had no other means of water supply on the premises. Everyday was a challenge as buying water in large quantities was not a long-term feasible solution. Thanks to the support of UST, we stepped in to make a significant difference. With the installation of a new rainwater harvester boasting a capacity of 20,000 litres, we've brought relief and a brighter future to these students.
Emergency Responses: Bridging Gaps, Creating Resilience
India's increasing vulnerability to calamities demands urgent action. In 2021, Thanal, with support from UST and PAN India, responded to the immediate needs of flood and COVID-19-affected children and families, while maintaining a sustainable approach by facilitating education, healthcare and livelihood.. We distributed 310 emergency food kits, empowered 500 students with study materials, and equipped 14 common study centers with LED TV and cable connections, bridging the digital education divide. Additionally, we provided free fumigation services to 250 tribal families Kurumbanmoozhi & Manakkayam hamlet at Ranni, aiding infection control. Join us in building resilience through impactful partnerships.
