The desire to be the change sprouts from the valour to take up all the measures to bring that change. The desire, strength and valour of every wonder woman brings in Change and better the society for generations to come. Thuvakkam is delighted to have journeyed and continue to journey with powerful women who desire to be the change. This International Women’s Day, Thuvakkam and Dreams Alive (NGO) joined hands in financially supporting 9 students.
The ideal of creating a better future is to have our children being empowered with knowledge. The same is achieved only by our collaborative initiative of extending financial support to continue on their education. Educating young girls is crucial in transforming families and society at large. This Women’s day, the wings of our young girls were strengthened and covered with valour for them to face their desires and take courageous step to #Work towards it and achieve it. 

Let our contribution towards girl child education become the stepping stone for their education– https://dev.thuvakkam.org/sfsscholarship/

Creation of Pond, for a sustainable future!

Thuvakkam’s “Blue Zone” project adheres to the UN SDG Goal 6 of “Clean Water and Sanitation”. Data shows that Water scarcity affects more than 40 percent of the global population and is projected to rise. Over 1.7 billion people are currently living in river basins where water use exceeds recharge. The “Blue zone” project is a means to alleviate this issue, providing sustainable alternatives i.e., freshwater availability for the public.

Thuvakkam organised a plantation event on 18th March, 2023 at the Pond created at Pandeshwaram with the support of Light and Wonder (SG Cares). The event was graced by the Panchayat President Mrs. Rekha Ramu, who herself is involved in conservation and propagation of paddy varieties in India. She highlighted the efforts that went into creating the pond, and the lasting impact it will have in the community and area where people are predominantly engaged in farming. She planted the first sapling along with Mr. Velraj, following which the ‘Game Changers’ took to planting the 50+ native tree species around the perimeter of the pond. Then the water that was collected in the pond from the water table was used to water them. The “Blue Zone'' project by Thuvakkam aims to create/restore water bodies that will help communities and take action for environmental conservation of the precious resource.
