Earth Trust, Vellaimalaipatti, was recognised for its contributions as an Associate Facilitator, NGO, and Implementation Partner in initiatives supporting poor women, children, and underprivileged families. This honour, presented to our Managing Trustee, Mr. P. S. Dharma Neethi, held deep emotional value not just as an award, but as validation of years of grassroots work, silent struggles, and unwavering belief in community-led change.
We were sincerely grateful to Dr. Denis Von der Weid of the Antenna Technology Association, Geneva, Switzerland, and to the entire Antenna Trust team for this meaningful recognition. This plaque symbolised the collective efforts of our team, volunteers, supporters, and every community member who trusted us and walked alongside us.

With gratitude in our hearts, we moved forward inspired to do even more.
