Our Vision
Greater social transformation through creating self reliant villages and greater inclusion of vulnerable communities.
Our Story
Founded in 1989, Bless has worked for the social and economic development of marginalized communities. Bless is a family run non-government organization run by staff from the community, with help from local and international volunteers. Bless has continued to expand each year, helping many communities in and around the Cuddalore district. Our programmes focus on community development, children’s care, water/sanitation, women’s empowerment, health, microcredit, education, and disaster recovery.
