VOICE Trust is committed to empowering and increasing awareness for economically, socially and educationally disadvantaged children, farmers, employed youth, disabled persons, and other underprivileged members of society. Our nature-centric approach also increases biodiversity and helps protect against global warming.

The rural areas of Tamil Nadu are home to some of the poorest Indian communities with few employment opportunities. Rural communities are increasingly selling off their only assets - their land - to big farming organizations which has a negative environmental impact and reduces the local economy, which in turn fuels the cycle of poverty. By keeping the communities on their own land, and self sufficient, we can maintain local trade and keep children in continuous education which is key to beating poverty.

1. Since 1995, VOICE Trust has been conducting farming field schools teaching children, farmers, and women’s groups how to create bio-diverse, nature-centric farms using integrated pest and crop management, permaculture principles, and organic fertilizers that enrich rather than deplete the soil. Presently, this training has provided regular employment and incomes to over 4,000 people.
2. -We have helped schoolchildren and farmers plant 1.3 million trees over the past 25 years. In 2019, we initiated a tree-planting program in 10 schools where children learned about the importance of ecological sustainability.
3. -The pandemic lock down has caused many Indians to lose their jobs, putting their families in financial strain and even starvation. Throughout 2020, we have provided emergency rations, clothing, sanitary napkins, and other supplies in support of these struggling families.
