Nalamdana Charity Profile

Nalamdana, meaning "Are you well?" in Tamil, is an organization based in Chennai, South India. It uses innovative communication methods to provide knowledge about health to illiterate audiences. Response-driven participatory street theatre, interactive games and puzzles, audio and video cassettes, tele films, small group workshops, television serials - Nalamdana explores the full range of communicative possibilities to reach out to people.

Initially, we addressed a wide variety of health topics ranging from alcoholism, cancer prevention and suicide prevention to clean water and personal health and hygiene. In 2000, after seven years of working closely with communities, we zeroed in on HIV AIDS prevention and Maternal and Child Health as the two areas most critically in need of knowledge intervention.

Nalamdana is a non-profit organization that uses creative, innovative and entertaining behavior change methods with community participation,to enable people to make better-informed decisions about their health and their families.
