This project aims to provide microcredit to 2000 rural and urban poor every year in Ariyalur, Trichy and Tanjore districts of TamilNadu.

PAT runs daycare centres for children in slums within Thiruchirapalli (Trichy) City Corporation limits. These daycare centres provide children with a nutritious diet, early childhood education, hygiene, clean clothing and medical service.

In addition to the social upliftment and empowerment provided via the microcredit program, PAT will also be able to run one daycare centre using the interest generated from the loans.
