Our Partner The Island Trust

Our partner organisation The Island Trust works closely with communities in a group of villages on a Tamwed-funded project to improve the health of tribal families; help them to tackle the effects of climate change; and promote their rights and their unique culture. We hope that we can prevent migration from their traditional homelands with the resources they and their children need for sustainable, productive lives.

COVID-19 relief materials being distributed today to 200 tribal families by government representatives and NGO staff and volunteers who are the only people allowed to travel to villages. We begin an appeal to raise funds for more food and other necessities for those who need it most on Monday. Thanks to those who helped fund today's deliveries.

We will be launching another Covid appeal on Monday. Contributions from supporters made a huge impact last year and we were extremely grateful. Alphonse Raj reports this morning: "Current Nilgiri District figures are 583 recorded infections and 90+ deaths. Up to 10% of tribal people are now infected and movement between villages is blocked. Relief materials are being distributed by local organisations only. Just 50 people are given the vaccine daily in each government hospital and private clinics are not given permission to enter villages. The ISLAND Trust and other NGOs are sending vaccinated health workers to vaccinate tribal communities - prioritising the elderly and vulnerable."
We will give more details about the appeal on Monday.

Emergency rations were distributed to a Paniya tribal village near Gudalur. ISLAND Trust staff found them in desperate need of food, healthcare and other support. Government rations were not reaching them and market food has rocketed in price. It is important that communities in remote villages that are unable to work or travel due to Covid, are able to access the means to survive. This is why the work of NGOs, most of them extremely short of funds, is so important at the moment.
