Valluvam (வள்ளுவம்), is a not-for-profit organization that aims to provide support to vulnerable, Sri Lankan Tamils affected by the civil war. Our mission is to empower and prioritize the academic goals, economic gains, and mental/spiritual wellbeing of individuals and communities.
According to a study published by the Oakland Institute in 2015, based on research and fieldwork done between January 2014 and April 2015, "thousands of Tamils are still internally displaced and remain without land or livelihoods" (The Oakland Institute 2015, 3).
Our strength is amplified with collective action
What Volunteers Say
"Children from Kathiravali have poor attendance at school, with the help of Valluvam's teacher, the attendance to the school increased."
