Kamla Foundation has set up a number of initiatives and programmes in partnership with The FORD Trust (Foundation for Rural Development), based in Tamil Nadu, in southern India. This is an existing organisation that the Foundation has great pleasure working with for its dynamic, inclusive and resourceful practises.
These projects are focussed primarily on the empowerment of the rural poor and in particular, women; facilitating the development of their economic skills and knowledge in order that they may gain greater self-sufficiency and social inclusion.
Since our inception, there has been great progress made and the Case Studies section highlights the direct impact that the projects have had on people's lives.
