How did Paadhai Trust come about ? or What is the genesis of Paadhai Trust ?

PAADHAI Trust grew out of the worldwide shock provoked by the Asian tsunami of December 2004. Crossing frontiers, there was a wave of sympathy and for a brief period, we seemed to be living a worldwide solidarity. 

The cataclysm also brought out the difficulties in extending direct help to local populations. Several people asked themselves after this event - How they could engage themselves in long term help… How to send help directly to the deprived people, in an effective way and without intermediary losses and misdirections…

A network of people with different national ities rapidly gathered with the will to bring their energies together into a commitment full of meaning.

They felt that they could make the difference in the lives of impoverished ones. Not by feeding them - but by educating them, training them and by showing them the way!

Through its projects PAADHAI Trust aims to educate, train and assist populations towards self-sustenance.
