This project was brought to us by a local NGO of friends in India in March 2019.

We travelled to India in 2019 to see the school and the needs of the local children in person. 250 children are currently attending Pole School. A local NGO donates lunch to provide families with an additional incentive to send their children to school. The children travel several kilometers over gravel roads in the morning and at noon to reach the school. Many of the young girls used to stop going to school with the beginning of their menstruation because there were no toilets. TASNA financed the construction of a toilet facility in 2019, which is a great relief for the girls who like to come to class.

In 2023, we further expanded this project and created an additional classroom for the 9th. Class built. The goal is also for the 10th. Class to build a classroom so that the children and young people can finish school there.

The Cuddles Foundation, a Mumbai-based NGO, now uses nutritionists in 42 hospitals throughout India. The aim is to offer children suffering from cancer a balanced diet. With the help of a Food Health app, all data is collected and special programs are compiled. Many of the children who come to the hospitals are malnourished or have had a very one-sided diet so far. Due to the administration of food supplements or even whole meals (depending on the hospital) in addition to medical care, the chances of recovery are many times higher.

TASNA took over the first sponsorship for a hospital in 2023. We visited the children in the cancer ward in the Balco Medical Center in Rapur in October 2023. This year we will support the Malabar Cancer Center in Thalassery/Kerala. In this hospital, around 600 children will be treated in hospital in 2024 and receive a balanced diet through the nutritionists of the Cuddles Foundation thanks to their donations.

In cooperation with our local partner ´Greensole`, we will distribute a school starter kit to 2´500 children in the Phalgar District this year. All products included in this starter kit are upcyling products and include a few shoes, a school bag and a mat.
