A health-linked savings scheme has given a new meaning to life for thousands of sex workers, members of the transgender community and HIV positive people in Tamil Nadu.

The scheme by the Tamil Nadu AIDS Initiative (TAI) and the Voluntary Health Service (VHS) aims at educating the marginalized communities about the benefits of saving. People are encouraged to drop their meagre savings in hundis (mud pots), take them to TAI centres and later open bank accounts.

Funny how the headline just gravitated towards sex workers.  Funny that.  No matter where you go in the world, the media is the same.
