”அறமெனப் படுவது யாதெனக் கேட்பின்
மறவாது இதுகேள் மன்னுயிர்க் கெல்லாம்
உண்டியும் உடையும் உறையுளும் அல்லது
கண்டதில்லை”
என அறம் உரைக்கிறது மணிமேகலை.

The tribal Population of Nilgiris is one of most affected community after math of COVID19 induced lockdown. These tribes in district is most vulnerable section comes under Kurumba, Irulas and Banyas Community unlike other tribes in the district like Toda’s and others who is land owning sections.

We are in need of some sustained requirements to keep this kitchen to run one to two months as per lockdown orders extension. We request you to help us in this cause to rise fund or other means to support to meet essential nutrient needs of them.
