Though many young people start off with illicit substances as a form of recreation or due to peer pressure, youth aged 18–35 among low-income groups get addicted to alcohol, smoking, or illicit drugs to cope with unemployment, trauma, fill the void due to the loss of a loved one, or escape neglect and abuse.

To overcome tough days to stay sober and learn to say 'NO' to alcohol, smoking, and drug abuse, SEESHA has been organizing sensitization campaigns under the theme 'New Year, New You!' in its target project communities.

Several awareness programmes, namely art competitions, rallies, signature campaigns, pledges, film shows, and skits, emphasising the concept of 'No Drugs, No Alcohol, Be Smoke Free, Live Substance Free' have been conducted, and many more are planned across SEESHA project locations.

Your support can help us reach out to many other sufferers and channel them to live purposefully beyond addiction.

Since the beginning of December, several districts in Tamil Nadu have experienced heavy rainfall, causing intense flooding that claimed nearly 30 lives and left several thousand stranded.

To meet immediate food & hygiene needs, SEESHA distributed relief kits to 1200 households worst-affected by the cyclone Michaung in Chennai and its neighbouring areas.After SEESHA’s cyclone Michaung relief operations in Chennai, SEESHA, along with the Karunya and ‘Jesus Calls’ teams, rendered urgent relief assistance to nearly 1300 families worst-affected by the deluge in Tirunelveli & Tuticorin Districts.

As SEESHA continues to aid disaster-hit communities, you too can join our noble mission.

Children raised in a peaceful and happy environment at home turn out to be the future changemakers of a nation. Yes, indeed, families play an eminent role in the emotional stability and wellbeing of a child. Sadly, many children go through emotional turmoil from their childhood, making them delinquents in the future.

To promote the healthy upbringing of children within nurturing home spaces, SEESHA has been advocating for child safety, the prevention of child abuse, and fostering family well-being.

Recently, in view of Children’s Day and SEESHA’s 20th anniversary celebrations, SEESHA organized childcare awareness mini-marathon events under the theme “Your child’s future is in your hands!” across 7 SEESHA project locations from November 25-27 to highlight the significant role of parents in raising happy children who will be the future changemakers of our great Nation. More than 2,400 people, including children, young people, and women, from all walks of life, participated with great passion and joy in the mini-marathon campaigns across 5 States.

Under the guidance of SEESHA’s Founder Dr. Paul Dhinakaran, the SEESHA disaster relief team established relief camps in the districts of Kangpokpi, Imphal, and Churachandpur in Manipur to provide assistance to the people affected by the recent ethnic conflict.
