Community Support
Social Awareness
Prime Trust recognizes that economic empowerment needs to be complemented by a deep understanding of the social factors that perpetuate inequality. In line with this belief, we regularly organize community presentations on various critical topics such as healthcare, financial literacy, gender inequality, environmental issues, and more. These presentations are conducted in collaboration with community stakeholders, as well as past partners like the Pondicherry Department of Health and Human Services and the Mukhta Foundation. To participate in this project please our application page.
Renovation of Government Schools
Prime Trust has recently undertaken a project proposed by the Government of Pondicherry. This will involve work such as the construction of classrooms, major repair of facilities and the establishment of new smart classrooms including the installation of computers. We are organizing the construction work, management of funds and general monitoring of the work carried out. The project will take 4-5 years and will benefit 400 schools.
This is a major project, which will require a large supply of resources and funds. Any donations, monetary or in the form of materials and resources would be greatly appreciated. If you would like to offer your support please contact us directly or visit our donate page. Monetary donations via wire transfer are preferable.

Rural Water and Sanitation
In India, approximately 60 million people lack access to a reliable and easily accessible source of clean drinking water, constituting 19% of the global total. This absence of clean water contributes to a higher prevalence of waterborne diseases among the rural poor, leading to increased mortality rates, stunted growth, and worsening socioeconomic disparities. Prime Trust is actively addressing this critical issue by collaborating with international non-governmental organizations to install modern wells in the rural villages surrounding Pondicherry. One such initiative is our Uppuvelore project, where we partnered with Hamap Humanitaire to provide clean drinking water and improved sanitation for the school children and the broader village community.
Rural Health Missions and Public Outreach
Rural villages and towns in Tamil Nadu face significantly higher rates of preventable and treatable illnesses compared to urban areas, primarily due to poor sanitation and the impoverished conditions of many residents. Recognizing that access to healthcare is vital for economic empowerment and self-reliance, Prime Trust actively collaborates with local and international organizations to provide essential healthcare services, including critical care, preventive check-ups, vaccinations, and eye care, to the rural poor in Tamil Nadu. In 2012, Prime Trust organized its first health mission in partnership with the Pondicherry Institute of Medical Sciences, conducting eye cataract checks for the villagers of Uppuvelore.
Support for the Homeless
The urban poor and homeless in Pondicherry face numerous challenges, including caste and gender disparities, limited governmental services, lack of job and educational opportunities, urbanization, and migration. These factors contribute to a cycle of poverty. Prime Trust has made a difference by supporting 10 homeless families through our Homeless Centre and Outreach Programs. Our services include counseling, domestic violence protection, de-addiction, and rehabilitation support. We also provide access to vocational training and microcredit opportunities to help them achieve financial stability. Additionally, children receive quality education and attend our free Evening Tuition classes.
