Director

Thenmozhi migrated from Jaffna to Tamil Nadu in India, as a Refugee, due to the devastating civil war, making the dangerous ocean crossing journey on a fishing boat. She joined OfERR (Organisation for Eelam Refugee Rehabilitation) in 1990 and she has since worked with refugees and has over 30 years of experience in the field of social work. She is now the head of the women empowerment unit at OfERR and she has been instrumental in starting 600 self-help groups in the refugee community and they now have a saving of about 2 crores! She joined SBTCF because she thought it was an innovative idea and that it empowers women, which is what Thenmozhi’s passion is. She oversees the programs of SBTCF and is a constant inspiration to us!
