Suzanne Turquotte, mother of actor Katrina Kaif, has been dedicated to social work in rural Tamil Nadu since 2008.

Relief Projects India now operates in 25 villages, offering services beyond education, including adolescent development and women's empowerment. Suzanne's selfless dedication, which began long before her move to India, continues to impact hundreds of lives.
