“NGOs can not only heal the hurting world, but they are one of the golden keys to do so, in relation to all the other actors in our societies.”

At Coodu Trust we have been working at the grassroots and have not devoted time to tell the world what we have been doing.
We will now use this site to tell the world what we do.
About Coodu Trust
Coodu Trust is a Not-for-Profit voluntary organization based in Tamil Nadu state of India. Registered as a charitable trust under Indian Trust Act 1882 in the year 2000, Coodu Trust has over the years emerged as a leading NGO in social development activities in Tamil Nadu especially on community organization, training programmes, research & documentation.
