Paadhai works as a catalyst organization to bridge gaps in social and community service. We connect donors and impoverished groups - ensure that worthy projects get the deserved attention and all funds are well applied.

With humble beginnings and high ideals, "Paadhai" was thus born !

Large portions of Indian forests are taken over by Lantana, an invasive weed. Our project, along with Junglescapes – which started over a decade ago – focused on clearance of this weed and restoring local vegetation. Apart from environmental benefits, this project offered employment to tribal colonies in the forests of Karnataka and Tamil Nadu.
