Thinai's Story

Payir (www.payir.org) a non-profit, since 2005, is committed to influencing holistic and sustainable change among the villages in the backward and drought prone Perambalur District, Tamil Nadu.

Nearly 80% of government school going adolescent girls in Perambalur District are moderate to severely anemic. In 2014 Payir convinced the District Administration to pilot a supplementary nutrition program to 3300 girl children, a first of its kind in the State. Within 300 school working days, the number of anemic children dropped substantially to 30%. One of the important supplements provided every day was a traditional ladoo - rich in natural iron, protein and fat made in-house at Payir.

During this period, Payir in an effort to produce wholesome and tasty food, grew this into a food processing unit Thinai an enterprise under Thoorigai Grama Bengal Kootamaippu. Thinai is now creating newer choices of skill & empowerment in 20+ rural families. Sale of each Ladoo makes them feel proud of their work, dignified in their communities and able to educate their children better.

Pair & Thinai Thanks you for your support!
