CAMPAIGN TO BUILD HOMES FOR TRIBALS IN CUDDALORE (3 HRS FROM CHENNAI), TN.
Chennai, Tamil Nadu, India
CAMPAIGN TEAM
The objective of this campaign is to build homes for 14 families who are a part of the Boom Boom Matukarargal community. They currently live in makeshift tents. The TN govt. has allotted land for them because of our efforts at NDSO. It costs just INR 60000 to build one proper home with a toilet.
Let us come together and transform the lives of these families. This campaign aims to raise funds for 3 homes which will cost INR 1.8L. If we are able to raise more than INR 1.8L, we can build more homes. So, please continue to fund this campaign even after we get past our initial goal.
The govt land allotted is at Thethampattu village (Sreemushnan Taluk), Cuddalore district.
The nomadic tribe of Boom Boom Maatukarargal's are a group of people who made/make a living by travelling from place to place with a decorated bull, entertaining and fortune telling using what is generally termed a Boom Boom Maadu (Bull). One would have come across them singing, dancing and telling people’s fortunes as they pass through villages and towns. This is usually prevalent in T.N, Andhra, Telangana and Kerala.
There is a small community of 14 such families who live in a settlement in Cuddalore ( located 3 hours from Chennai) who need help.
The community is trying to eke out a living during the pandemic by selling Dhrishti Bommaigal. (Dolls that ward of evil). They are barely able to make a living and do not have any financial resources. They desperately need a proper house.
This community has been allotted land by the Tamil Nadu govt and they need to build a house on that. We have taken up this initiative to execute this.
NDSO started as Ennangalin Sangamam in the year 2005 in Chennai. It was a forum to identify, unite and facilitate networking among service-minded individuals and organizations distributed across Tamil Nadu.
NDSO would like to endeavour on the overall development of the fraternal members for their progress through moral assistance and fiscal support in the execution of their activities Through travels spanning hundreds of villages over the last 13 years, the team has been able to build a network of 1,500+ NGOs and has obtained the goodwill of thousands of individuals. Several of the individuals that the team met were doing quiet work away from the corrosive glare of the news media.

Crowdfunding in India is a relatively new concept & is growing very quickly.
It’s a concept that allows a large number of funders (like you) to fund an idea or a cause or event by giving small amounts of money online. Fueladream.com is a crowdfunding platform in India that allows for such pooling of funds. You can fund innovations & ideas on FuelADream and be the first to get these products or make them come true. You can also do a good turn by funding charities and causes through crowdfunding. When you fund a charity it’s more like a donation & you get small innovative rewards like a shout-out on an FB page or a thank you email from the beneficiaries.
