Background: Madurai

Our project

  • As a registered development organization, People’s Association for Rural Development (PARD) is involved with various programmes to help people living in slums in Madurai. PARD initiated its efforts in the year 1992. It turned out that a lot of people in Madurai are living in extremely poor conditions and children have to drop out of school and start working early. Therefore, PARD decided to start its microfinance program.
