Tamil Nadu foundation Michigan Chapter and Michigan Tamil Sangam have jointly sponsored the educational initiative in Namakkal district to enrich underprivileged rural students attending government schools. This project was initiated in six schools in 2015. Four of the six schools are tribal schools run by the government of Tamil Nadu.

In continuation of the effort to support the process, there is a 5K walk/run scheduled on Sunday, August 4th, 2019. We had a similar 5K walk conducted last year, and there were 600+ participants who supported the event, and we expect similar or more this year as well. All proceeds will go towards educating underprivileged children in Tamil Nadu
