How we govern ourselves.
Restricted vs unrestricted
Donations marked for patient care are spent only on patient care. Administrative costs are funded from unrestricted sources.
Board oversight
Our board meets quarterly. No staff member sits on the board. Trustees serve without remuneration.
Conflict-of-interest policy
Trustees, staff and volunteers declare conflicts annually. Decisions involving related parties are recused and minuted.
Grievance redressal
If you have a concern about a donation, an interaction with our team or any aspect of our work, please write to our Grievance Officer at office@twachennai.org. We acknowledge every complaint within two working days and aim to resolve them within fifteen.
