This study examines the significant contributions of NGOs in promoting sanitation and health in the tribal hamlets of Anaikatti, Coimbatore. Given the geographical remoteness and socio-cultural uniqueness of tribal settlements, an appropriate sampling strategy was essential to ensure the validity and relevance of the findings. The study adopted a descriptive research design and employed a purposive sampling method to select respondents. This non-probability sampling technique was chosen due to the specific focus on tribal communities where NGOs are actively engaged in sanitation and health interventions. The selection of respondents was guided by inclusion criteria such as community members who had directly benefited from NGO-led sanitation and health programs, as well as NGO workers and local health facilitators. A sample size of 120 respondents was finalized for the study. This included 120 tribal residents (from different hamlets). The sample size was determined based on accessibility, diversity of hamlets and representation of various stakeholders, ensuring a balanced and insightful data collection process. Data were collected using structured interviews and focus group discussions to gain quantitative insights. The purposive sampling approach enabled the researcher to reach key informants who had first-hand experience and could provide meaningful information regarding the impact of NGO interventions. The results revealed that 58% of the respondents exhibited a moderate role of NGOs in promoting sanitation and health in tribal hamlets. Additionally, 26% demonstrated a high role of NGOs in promoting sanitation and health in tribal hamlets, while the remaining 17% reflected a low role of NGOs in promoting sanitation and health in tribal hamlets.
