Our Work, Our Organisation and Our Beliefs

-Vision and Mission  -FIN team   -FIN Philosophy  -FIN History 

Our Work: At FIN we strive to develop solutions for problems related to sanitation, water, waste management and hygiene behaviour that are environmentally friendly and socially just.

Our Organisation: To do this, FIN Trust is set up as a teaching, training and action research laboratory at multiple locations. The head office is at Kameswaram village in the Nagapattinam district of Tamil Nadu state. We have two more field offices, in Vilundamavady village next to Kameswaram and  in Ramgarh cantt, Jharkhand. In all centres, we conduct programmes for education and training, grassroots innovation generation and diffusion, livelihood creation and community level initiatives for hygiene behaviour. Then we also have an online community, that we call FIN’s Centre for Circular Economy or CCE. It is a virtual lab of academics, professionals and students passionate about contributing to a cleaner and greener India and world through teaching, training and research. There is intensive knowledge exchange between the onsite and online centres.  

Our Beliefs: The core beliefs of FIN movement are:
– Effective promotion of social welfare can be achieved by simple actions/solutions which take into account  complexity of the problems.
– It is more important to do the right thing over the long run rather than to achieve results in the short run at the cost of long term success.

Through this website we share our story and invite you to join this movement.
