GUDALUR & PANDALUR RURAL AREAS

Prior to the project, this disadvantaged and marginalized tribal community were mostly living in substandard mud walled and wild grass roof huts, which were insufficient to protect them against the elements and inclement weather conditions prevailing in this hill region for much of the year. Resulting problems included severe leaking during the monsoon and serious fire risk during the dry season. In addition the fragile huts provided little in the way of protection from dangers posed by local wildlife, in particular from the damaging / trampling of property by elephants, which was a frequent problem in this village.
