Nagapattinam is a city in Tamil Nadu that has tried to sustain itself over the years with the help of its agricultural and fishing activities. Unfortunately, the town was devastated by the Tsunami that occurred in December 2004, destroying the only means to earn a living for a large number of families. In 2011, Nagapattinam was again hit by a massive cyclone Thane, which destroyed everything that was left with the families after Tsunami. Majority of the people now live in slums with no access to even the basic amenities. Their sanitation facilities are poor and people also often suffer from chronic diseases that eventually lead to death, leaving many children parentless.
