Thalirgal Self Help Group (SHG)

Thalirgal, a self-help group, consisting of 180 widows from 15 villages, mostly dalit women enjoy the patronage of Dalit Solidarity for more than decade. Our focus is to provide them with opportunities and training that would support their livelihood. By inspiring widows to live with pride and purpose, we hope to slowly change the social mentality which banishes them to empty, lonely lives.

Livelihood for the Widows

The widows operate the self-help groups and discuss their activities on every monthly. We give them small educational and business loans to improve their living standard. Some of them run their own business like grocery story, food stall, Jewelry and clothes.

Milk Cow Project

A single dairy cow can provide a Sprouts widow and her children with a 400% increase in their family income. They will be able to afford better food, necessary health care, and needed home improvements. The dream of providing their children with an education can become a reality. This Project will provide the means for our SHG members to greatly improve their standard of living for themselves and their families.

Homebuilding Project

Dalit Solidarity has constructed approximately 85 homes for widows and the poor families living in the Villupuram District over the course of the past 25 years.

Towards Success and Happiness!

We are actively serving a population often forgotten and oppressed. Widows have been neglected and marginalized for centuries and even today in our Indian society. They are deprived of equal opportunity and human rights. We have been serving them pride and joy for the last 25 years and promoted their wellbeing and development.

With your generosity and kindness, we have helped them to purchase cows and goats and become the breadwinners
