It was founded by Ms. Vedhanayagi in Ranipet district, Tamil Nadu in 2006. THENDRAL is a Tamil word meaning “Breeze”. Also, THENDRAL is the abbreviated form of “The Holistic Eagerly Nature Development Related Alternative Life”. The purpose is to serve humanity through the concept of 'Back to Nature'. On the road to globalization with rapid changes in technological growth, people are alienated from a balanced social life. Despite growth in technological aspects, many social evils still persist and are unaddressed. In this scenario, service to humanity has acquired new relevance. It demands equipped people to meet the challenges of life so that it will help them contribute their share in healing some of the social imbalances. Our programmes and activities are for the welfare, advancement, and empowerment of the needy, poor, and deprived from the perspective of women to establish a violence- free social order.
An integrated approach to build a equitable and empowered society
OUR VISION
Harmony in Life
OUR MISSION
Confirming the social security of every individual through their contribution and participation in the competing social, economical, ecological, political and psychological divisions through the range of community-based, action-oriented, and people-centered programmes.
THENDRAL Movement's presence is crucial to addressing these social evils in our project areas. Being a victim herself, our founder understood the difficulties these women were going through in their lives. Our community development programmes involve effective participation of our target communities to bring improvement in socio-economic, health, political, educational, psychological, and cultural aspects of their lives. Through counselling, awareness generation, skill training, education, and vocational training, we have empowered communities to be self-reliant. THENDRAL's interventions in the lives of victimized women have brought some significant changes in their lives. Our journey is to uplift communities until we create a violence-free social order in society.
Women from marginalized communities, widows, and single mothers are very often excluded from availing the livelihood opportunities in society, abused by patriarchy, and restrained from exercising their basic rights. We coordinate with the government, and other like-minded organizations in reaching these target communities and provide solutions based on the problems they face through networking, guidance, formation of SHGs, family counselling, women forum, income generation activities, legal justice, care for victims, and awareness generation for their rights. Our overall aim is to promote gender equality, behavioural changes, improve their standard of living, social security, and reduce suicide and divorce rates.
Our target communities are slum & rural school children, adolescent girls, youth girls and boys, transgenders, and physically challenged. We help these communities through issue-based interventions, and they are: - Providing creche care for children - Career counseling - Skill development programme - Youth leadership programme - ISDS - Integrated skill development Scheme - soft skills, and life skills training.
Health is an important aspect of our work. We promote the health of the communities we work with through different approaches. We have S4S Club (Awareness on self-defence, fitness of the body, healthy food habits, and girl children physical abuse) and Menstrual Hygiene Management (MHM) programme for adolescent girls. We conduct awareness generation programmes on cancer, irregular menstrual cycle, importance of mother's milk to the baby, use of healthy sanitary pads for women. We also conduct health awareness workshops for women by experts. Additionally, we also provide homemade Health Mix ""Hello Breakfast"" nutritious powder for weak and anaemic women.
It is the small change that makes the biggest impact.
