The Social problem :

FEEL Charitable Trust serves vulnerable Irular and Narikuravar tribal communities in Kanchipuram District, Tamil Nadu, where families face interconnected challenges of poverty, food insecurity, limited education and healthcare access, unemployment, and inadequate livelihood opportunities. Currently supporting 25 families (approximately 100 individuals), the trust addresses a wider community of 300+ families struggling with irregular incomes, inability to afford nutritious food, education, transportation, healthcare, medicines, clothing, and hygiene products. Children encounter barriers to schooling and nutrition, while women and youth lack access to skills training and income-generating opportunities. Unsafe drinking water and limited healthcare compound health and financial burdens, creating a cycle of poverty that persists across generations and demands integrated, sustainable intervention.
