PAADHAI Trust grew out of the worldwide shock provoked by the Asian tsunami of December 2004. Crossing frontiers, there was a wave of sympathy and for a brief period, we seemed to be living a worldwide solidarity.
The cataclysm also brought out the difficulties in extending direct help to local populations. Several people asked themselves after this event how they could engage themselves in long term help… How to send help directly to the deprived people, in an effective way and without intermediary losses and misdirections… |

A network of people with different nationalities rapidly gathered with the will to bring their energies together into a commitment full of meaning . They felt that they could make the difference in the lives of impoverished ones. Not by feeding them - but by educating them, training them and by showing them the way!
PAADHAI means - the way or the path - in the South -Indian language, Tamil, and it aims to show a way for disadvantaged Indian populations to get out of the cycle of poverty and deprivation. PAADHAI also shows the donors a way to help others.
