From May 2009-June 2010, WORD implemented Targetted Intervention Program for migrant workers in Namakkal and Trichengode Taluks of Namakkal District with the funding support of Tamilnadu State AIDS Control Society (TANSACS), Chennai.

Migrant workers who have considerable numbers staying in Namakkal District are subject to vulnerable to STI and HIV/AIDS. Through this project, WORD intervenes with the migrant workers with STI and HIV/AIDS prevention and control information and to create safer behavior practices among them towards HIV/AIDS.
Under this project, the migrants who engage in brick chambers, poultry units, textile industries, dying industries, construction works and crushing points, seasonal agricultural works were covered.

The major activities with the target groups under this project were one-one education,  one-group education, counseling for the high risk groups, referral services for ICTC Centers, STI clinics and ART centres, organize STI camps at the migrant workplaces, identification and promotion of voluntary peer leaders (VPLs), condom promotion etc., All these activities are managed with a Project Co-ordinator, 2 counsellors and 10 outreach workers.
