INTRODUCTION
Towards the close of the 20th century, the agricultural Districts of Nagapattinam and Thiruvarur in Tamilnadu have witnessed an increasing number of independent individuals involving in social action. A number of youth from different locations during their spare time, started activities like visiting patients in hospitals, spending time with the A aged in old-age homes, assisting to solve problems of women in Short-stay home for women in distress, organizing youth camps, and doing relief work during natural calamities. These volunteers, when they met on the way, first exchanged smiles and later exchanged ideas. Some among them with identical views, joined together to give their service a more organized format and a more meaningful formula and formed a Trust. Thus Peace foundation was born in 1996.
Once the Trust was registered under the Indian Trust Act, other legal formalities succeeded one after the other. A permanent FCRA number was obtained from the Ministry of Home Affairs. Exemption under section 80G was got from the Income Tex Department. A clear-cut work plan was readied with comprehensive community development in rural areas forming the core aim. Organizing women and empowering them was adopted as one of the main strategies to achieve community development. The other components of community development namely promotion of literacy and health care were fitted in-between.
Vision:
A comprehensively and inclusively developed rural and urban community where children, youth, adults and elderly developed god-given potential and live in peace and prosperity.
Mission:
Promotion of the important components of Development namely, education, health, economic development, women empowerment and physical improvement of villages and urban areas.
