25.01.2022 Selvemalar runs a small shop and with a small distribution from Ten for Tamils and a positive and hardworking attitude has been able to expand her business dramatically. For ten dollars a month, the price of a glass of wine, we can support more women like Selvemalar. To donate go to www.tenfortamils.org.au/donate
25.01.2022 I was very lucky this month to be a part of Ten for Tamils 18th distribution to Female Headed Households in Jaffna. Livliehood items varied from chickens, candle making, bag making, peanut selling and palmyra weaving. I also caught up with 85 years old Sangariya selling her peanuts at the temple. It was lovely to see her again. Thank you everyone for your support. If you would like to donate ten dollars a month to help more women please go to: www.tenfortamils.org.au/donate

25.01.2022 Ten for Tamils are proud to announce that they are now supporting five children of Tamil Widows to attend Jaffna University. For under $40 per month per child we are able to assist them to pay for accommodation, food and extra studies like English. But we need the funds to pay for it so we are on a drive to find twenty generous people who will sign up for $10 per month to support these deserving kids.

08.01.2022 Seriruban was trained in needlework over twenty years ago and now uses her talent as a source of income. She is the sole earner and only carer for her very sick husband. People come to her house, give her orders and buy her work. This pink dress takes her three hours to make and she sells it for 500LKR [$4.80] which is 50% profit. Seriruban generates an income of around 3000LKR [30 AUD] per month which is enough for basic food. With a distribution of materials from Ten for Tamils in September 2018, she hopes to increase her profit and ease the burden on her family. To donate and to help us support more women like Seriruban go to www.tenfortamils.org.au/donate
