The post tsunami interventions of Pro-Vision in the coastal villages of Kanniyakumari paved way for an in depth understanding of the issues confronted by the tsunami affected people particularly the youth and children. As the co-ordination of tsunami relief and rehabilitation activities were gradually withdrawn, Pro-Vision explored the possibilities of intervening in some of the specific issues identified.

in a few selected villages of Kanniyakumari district, Pro-Vision initiated the intervention in 2007. At the field level, PATHAI worked with the adolescents.
