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.

PAT was promoted as a Trust under Indian Trust Act on 02.05.1997 by a team of socially committed and concerned individuals headed by K.Hirudayasami. The objective was to empower the underprivileged and to improve the quality of their life in collaboration with like minded individuals, organizations and government departments. After a period of 5 years doing mostly social intermediation, we decided to step into the activities promoting economic development in the lives of our clients. The financial assistance came from Friends of Women’s World Banking, India, Ahamedabad towards our Micro credit operation at the fag end of 2003. The size of the first loan granted was Rs. 5 lakhs. Now our portfolio has grown to the size of 5 crores and above benefiting nearly 14000 clients.
