Association au Bénéfice des Habitants de l'Inde du Sud
ABH South India is an association for the benefit of the people of Tamil Nadu in the South of India. It grew out of a long friendship between Father Adolphe MAYEUL, his friends Helene and Bernard CHEVALLIER, and Father John SAGAYA from the diocese of Palayamkottai and it was created in Vannes in 2009. Today it has more than a hundred members whose support and involvement help to carry out the actions undertaken by the Christian communities in India in favour of orphans and abandoned children, disabled people, adults with problems and old people, regardless of race, ethnicity or religion.
The needs are defined by our Indian partners, on the initiative of Father J. Sagaya together with the Bishop of the Diocese of Palayamkottai, Bishop Jude Paulraj. On our side, in the Morbihan, we provide financial support and collect the necessary funds thanks to personal or collective initiatives. We also appeal to donations from individuals, institutions and private companies. In addition to this, to make the members discover India, the association organizes cultural and friendly activities throughout the year.

First President of ABH South India
All the members of the association are unpaid volunteers. The administration costs are very low thanks to the use of internet; so, each euro collected goes directly to the Indian projects that were selected. ABH South India is an association - law 1901 (OJ 11.7.2009), whose president is Father A. Mayeul surrounded by a board of twelve members and governed by statutes that specify that the association supports neither travelling nor accommodation and food expenses
Having in mind the willing to share and to develop a partnership with the people of Tamil Nadu, come and join us. Together we will be all the more efficient serving all those people who need support.
