The Narikuravar are a formerly nomadic community, in southern India who specialized in hunting small game. But after the government prohibited the access into forests, the community was forced to settle and has now taken on selling beaded jewelry.

 

Due to their previous living conditions and consumption of animals, they are deemed unclean by the caste system and considered among the dalit or 'untouchable' caste. This community has faced discrimination, lack of access to basic sanitation and education, high illiteracy rates, and diseases. 

 

 As a passionate and independent people, the team seeks to provide them with basic infrastructure that is culturally appropriate.
