Tsunami of 2004 has affected 39 villages in Nellore district badly. Most of the small fishing businesses have been obliterated. These communities have been shattered for the second time in 2005 due to cyclones/floods. People in these villages are primarily tribals, STs and BC's and depend on fishing in the back waters of pulicat lake for their livelihood. Being located right on the border of the two states of Andhra pradesh and Tamilnadu, these villages have been ignored by both the state governments.
Following Tsunami in Dec 2004, Sahanivasa partnered with AID and CJWS in the rehabilitation of 17 villages in Chillakur and Tada mandal. There are still 22 more villages which have not received any form of support so far. The current project intends to rehabilitate the communities in 12 of the 22 villages which have been identified by Sahanivasa as the ones which are badly in need of support.

- Help the fishing communities by funding repair of boats, material for knitting new nets.
- Support the establishment of trade unions and Womens cooperative societies which can protect the fishermen from being exploited by the middlemen.
- Organize the communities and provide necessary support for their demand to officially recognize the villages, provide pakka housing, get enrollment into voters list, ration cards etc.
