Objectif France India supports development projects by helping Indian NGOs to officially document, finance, coordinate and monitor their projects. Thanks to an agricultural development initiative (in the village of Thottiapatti in the south of the country) enabling families to have a better income, the sponsored project aims to provide the children and young people in the village with a better-quality education. This is particularly important for girls, who are otherwise subjected to forced marriages at a very early age and teenage pregnancies. The tribal populations live in remote villages without government support, despite the sharp fall in their income resulting from the consequences of climate change. The current project involves building three classrooms for tutoring 120 children (Tamul and English classes). In addition to classes, the project offers sports activities and educational gardening workshops to raise children’s awareness of the importance of protecting nature.
