Programs

  • Child welfare

    The orphanage frequently welcomes new children, primarily those who have lost both parents. Currently, the trust cares for a total of 100 children, and it ensures a balanced intake and departure of children, typically when they graduate from the 10th grade each year. While the primary focus is on orphans, it occasionally makes exceptions, considering factors such as poverty levels, for children with one living parent. It provides a nurturing environment that includes hygiene, nutritious meals, clothing, shelter, education, instilling moral values, fostering basic family principles, and, above all, the importance of love and affection.

  • Old age home

    The strength of the organization is the mutual support system between the 100 orphaned children and the 80+ senior citizens who often feel neglected by their own families. These children do not perceive themselves as orphans, as they can choose from among the 80 senior citizens to fill roles as their fathers, mothers, grandmas, or grandpas. In return, the senior citizens receive love and affection from over 100 young hearts just when they need it the most. The organisation consists of approximately 20 dedicated employees who ensure the well-being of both the orphanage and the old age home.

  • Free medical camps

    Every month, it conducts free medical camps in rural areas to assist individuals afflicted by conditions such as AIDS, Tuberculosis, and other illnesses. A dedicated team of 200 people is actively involved in organizing these camps across various regions in Tamil Nadu. It ensures that those in need receive the necessary medications, offering a lifeline to those struggling with debilitating illnesses. Additionally, it prioritizes raising awareness among the public by conducting monthly awareness programs through various media channels.

  • Treatment for AIDS and TB affected children

    The organization is actively engaged in AIDS awareness programs, educating individuals about the disease, its consequences, and providing free medicines to those affected by AIDS. In addition, it offers specialized treatment for children suffering from tuberculosis, ensuring they receive proper care and accommodation, overseen by experienced doctors and nurses who handle their cases with great care. The organisation supplies various medications to underprivileged individuals who face challenges in managing their illnesses.
