Girls in Difficult Circumstances
(GDC), Palani
As there was need to start a separate shelter
for the girls and young women in Palani,
this project was initiated with the Comic
Relief grant. The project aims to provide
safe and protective shelter to the girls
in need of care and protection. The shelter
has been established and we have few girls
and young women who utilize the services
offered by the project. The staff has been
appointed for this project.
