About Us
A Humanitarian Wing of Tamil Sangam Hampton Roads
Thayagam (தாயகம்) is the humanitarian initiative of Tamil Sangam of Hampton Roads (TSHR), a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization in the United States. Born out of the Tamil tradition of care, hospitality, and responsibility, Thayagam exists to serve those affected by natural disasters, displacement, and poverty — both locally and globally.
As an extension of our cultural roots, we respond to urgent needs with compassion and clarity — delivering relief, empowering education, and walking with communities through recovery and rebuilding. Every effort is rooted in transparency, driven by volunteers, and focused on long-term dignity and transformation.
We are Tamil in spirit, humanitarian in action.
