Where Are they Located?

The Panniandi people live in southern India, especially in Tamil Nadu state.

The Panniandi people practice Hinduism, which means that they will worship the gods that they believe will benefit them. They have no personal relationship with their gods.

What Are Their Needs?

The Panniandi people need the opportunities to get the education they need to get out of poverty and disgrace.
