KOVALAM, SENDIVAKKAM, K.G.KANDIGAI MAMBAKKAM & CHENNAI In 2001 and in partnership with the Roman Catholic Church, the Cuomo Foundation launched a school development programme in Tamil Nadu, India. The objective of this vast project was to encourage the schooling of children and their basic education. This initiative goal was reached through construction of schools, renovation of existing buildings, granting operating costs and scholarships.
