Beneficiaries of the Project: 600 Day LABORers or DAILY WORKERS and their FAMILIES

Project Proposal

This is a colony (village) adjoining to Nandyal called “Venkatachalam Colony”. It has a population of around 600 families, all of them migrated from different places in search of daily work and formed this labor community. Due to the irregular monsoons and failure of agriculture in many of the villages, people are forced to get out of their villages in search of daily work to maintain their families. The town of Nandyal, which is adjoining to this colony, provides them daily work of either road building, working in small factories or house construction. The people of this village go very early in the morning to work and return in the late afternoon. The living facilities are very minimal, poor or even non-existent. Drinking water in these circumstances is a big problem. They have to go very far to fetch a pot of water to drink and there is practically no water for other usages.

The people of this colony are presenting their extremely difficult situation and asking if you could help them with a bore well in the middle of their colony where everyone would be able to get water to drink and available water for all purposes. The head man of the colony will be in charge of the bore well to oversee its maintenance and future repairs. The people of this village will be forever grateful to you and your donors. The GPS will be: 15.476611, 78475980. The colony in the GPS is near Ramanjineyaswamy Temple.

Thank you so much Lloyd.

Fr. Shoury.
