On Tuesday, February 25, CTC officials and project donors, visited Thennamaravadi to assess the project's progress and engage with the women involved. The visit provided an opportunity to discuss future development plans and reinforce CTC’s ongoing commitment to empowering the local community.

In 1984, the people of Thenamaravadi were forced to displace and were only allowed to return to their village in 2010. However, accessing their Akkaraiveli farmland—located under the Kokku Thoduvai divisional administration in Mullaitivu District—remained a challenge due to the lack of proper transport infrastructure.
