WHY WE DO THIS
Many of us grew up with this picture: at the end of the month, Amma puts an envelope aside. Not for us – for the family back home. For a niece's school fees, an uncle's medicine, a roof after the monsoon.
Our parents started over in a foreign country, often with almost nothing. And still they shared. Not because they had a lot – but because they knew what it feels like to have little.
THIS IS TAMIL carries that spirit forward. With every piece you buy, we set aside CHF 1 – for children and adults who are in need today. For a school notebook. A warm meal. A doctor's visit. A new beginning.
One franc sounds small. But that is exactly how it started for our parents: with an envelope, month after month. Together, it becomes a future.
