Education
HIVE Foundation has adapted a slum area called Bharathi nagar in Tamil Nadu, India. On November 2016, HIVE collected field data to understand and analyze the needs and the demands of this vulnerable community; furthermore interventions were strategically planned to serve this community. This slum is known for its high prevalence of illiteracy rate, low socio-economic status, poor infrastructure and poor quality of life. On January 2017, HIVE founded a community welfare center at Bharathi nagar.
