Development Association for Integrated Activity (DAIA) was established in 2002 by Gell Joseph, initially to support individuals affected by HIV, before expanding into broader poverty alleviation work in Tuticorin district, Tamil Nadu. Its programmes are organised around three pillars: after-school tuition centres for children, support for the elderly with groceries, medicine and health check-ups, and vocational/livelihood training for women in trades such as animal rearing, food stalls and tailoring. It also runs an integrated rural-village development programme called RUPA.
