FLOOD RELIEF SUPPORT – ERAL VILLAGE, TUTICORIN DISTRICT (2023)
In December 2023, the southern districts of Tamil Nadu were ravaged by heavy rains, with Eral in Tuticorin District being among the worst affected. The collapse of the Eral River bridge isolated the Village, turning it into an unreachable island for nearly a week. Entire neighborhoods were submerged, leaving families without food, water, or shelter. In this time of dire need, Pattamkattimaravar Trust stepped in to provide monetary assistance to nearly 20 families whose homes and belongings were completely destroyed by the flood. This relief effort was a testament to our commitment to humanitarian service and our ability to respond swiftly in times of crisis.
​
INDEPENDENCE DAY SPEECH (2024)
To celebrate Independence Day, a speech program was organized to engage children in reflecting on the significance of the occasion. The program not only encouraged public speaking and self-confidence but also provided an opportunity for children to express their views on freedom and independence. Medals and certificates were awarded to the best participants, honouring their efforts and contributions to the event.
​
FUNERAL ARRANGEMENTS (2024)
In a compassionate effort to ensure a dignified farewell for those without family support, the organization took responsibility for arranging the funeral rites of a woman who had no relatives. The proper rites were performed, ensuring a respectful and solemn ceremony. This initiative underscored the commitment to providing care and respect to all individuals, regardless of their circumstances.
At Pattamkattimaravar Trust, we strive to create lasting change through programs focused on education, social welfare, cultural initiatives, and humanitarian aid. Each initiative is designed to empower individuals, uplift communities, and foster hope and dignity for all.
