Welcome to the website of FACE
FACE is basically an organization, working with salt workers and other marginal and hidden-neglected communities in Tamilnadu. We presently work with salt Workers in Vedaraniyam and Tuticorin (two important salt production centers in Tamilnadu). Salt worker community is very depressed, vulnerable and voiceless community which is in the complete pocket of ruling salt producers. the Bay of Bengal report of Ministry of Industries (salt Commission) accepts that salt workers are the poorest of the poor in the country. But unfortunately because of many reasons, there is no specific development light on the group. A good old professional group earning comparatively a bigger foreign exchange to the nation lies uncared. That where FACE had started his work by promoting local people empowering participatory process.
FACE is presently attempting to contribute to the relief and rehabilitation of thane cyclone victims in cuddalore district of Tamilnadu state, India
