Kovallam was a town hit hard by the tsunami of 2004. A once picturesque, costal fishing town, Kovallam was raised to the ground by the natural disaster. Being but a two hour drive from Chennai, the headquarters of Aim for Seva, Kovallam received a full fledged Tsunami relief effort by AIMS. There was reconstruction of houses including temporary shelters and permanent homes, medical supplies , and most importantly, new fishing boats and nets were provided. These constitute the instruments of the villagers' livelihood. Asha specifically contributed money towards purchasing fishing nets for over 15 families.
Founded by Swami Dayananda Saraswati, AIM for Seva has several community development projects all over india--in over 17 states. AIMS is unique in that the organization strongly embraces Indian culture while remaining secular. AIMS does not discriminate based on caste, creed, or religion
