Thare Machi Education spreads basic health education throughout the poorest communities of the world through a revolutionary but incredibly simple method: Interactive DVDs in the local language.
TME INDIA launched at the House of Lords
TME Patron, Karan Bilimoria fronted a reception hosted by the Lord Speaker; Baroness D'Souza at the House of Lords' River Room on April 23rd to launch the Indian branch of Thare Machi. Also taking part were actress, TV personality, comedienne and TME patron Nina Wadia and former Second World War SOE member and TME Chairman Helen Taylor Thompson OBE
The evening saw the first public screening of a film made in India last year by three TME volunteer Associates, Sally Murcutt, Clive Dove-Dixon and Charlotte Ball. You can view the film here.
A number of representatives from the political, business and philanthropic community were invited with a view to creating a task force of effort to see Thare Machi's DVDs in Indian languages developed - we have 144 at the moment - and distributed far more widely over the next few years.
TME India was founded as an independently registered Indian Charity by an Indian supporter of the charity based in Kolkata.
Baroness D'Souza welcomes guests to the River Room - part of her private apartment in the House of Lords.
TME Patron Nina Wadia confesses to being scared of TME Chairman Helen Taylor Thompson who was trained in destruction techniques as an SOE officer during the Second World War and won't take "No" for an answer even today!
EIFFEL TOWER TO BIG BEN 2013
STOP PRESS - TME supporter and associate Paul Groves left Paris on Sunday 7th April and arrived beneath Big Ben 3 days later where he was welcomed by Chris White MP and TME Director Stephen Clarke. Massive congratulations to Paul and all his team. Paul has already exceeded his £1000 fundraising target, but if you are a cyclist, a TME supporter or just simply have too much money in your pocket you can still

A different kind of railway in Kolkata where our troika of recently returned Associates found a family living in a slum just feet from the tracks but sleeping under a mosquito net as a result of watching our lesson : "Bednets Can save Lives" in the Bengali language.
Education saves lives - it's simple

This is HIV in English and may not be suitable for younger surfers.
Now here's the thing, we are managing to do quite an amazing amount with the merry band of Thare Machi Associates and supporters but we could probably do so much more with a secure income stream. Finance is an inconvenient necessity in the modern world so if you think you could help us raise £1,000 or £100 then sign up for our 100 x 1000 challenge!
TME spreads basic health education
In the poorest communities around the world, women and children die because no one has told them how to stay healthy. Life-saving information passes them by because they cannot read and write. Often they speak a language that health educators don’t know, so vital information is left unsaid. But the knowledge these women and children need is simple and easily passed on – and our founder Helen Taylor Thompson found the way to do it.

TEN OUT OF TEN FOR KOLKATA MUMS!
'Thare Machi Education is making very simple life-changing and life-saving messages accessible in audio visual format in the languages of the developing world. Last year I visited Kolkata in India and spent some time with a community project working with some of the world’s most marginalised people..........more
Our partners are community groups, street children’s societies, health clinics, churches, schools and individuals
At Thare Machi Education we produce lessons on topics such as HIV/AIDS, malaria, TB, diarrhoea, safe water and childcare. The lessons focus on key facts and are interactive which has proved hugely successful with our target audience. We translate the lessons into community languages, produce the DVDs and distribute them free of charge to partner agencies working on the ground. Our partners are community groups, street children’s societies, health clinics, churches, schools and individuals. They don’t need classrooms or training – the DVDs are easy to use and a portable player can be charged from a car battery. Our staff don’t need to be there – just the discs. We produce new lessons all the time – there are 29 already – and are translating them into almost 40 languages from Africa, India, China, South East Asia and Europe..........more
