ABOUT US
It all began when the founders of the trust used to help the underprivileged people around them – the maid, her relatives, her kids and the extended family not just monetarily but also supported them emotionally. Soon the word spread and a lot more people like the neighborhood Pourakarmikas began to ask for help. The problems they faced were multiple – economic, marital, emotional and it was simply not possible to address their entire issues single handedly. This is when the founder discussed the idea of forming an organization with her like-minded friends so that their philanthropic efforts were streamlined to reach those who need them more effectively and effortlessly. So now that there is a formal structure to the organization, the scope of the trust’s activities have broadened to include things like getting the kid’s admission in the school, counseling for the college students who want to study further, students in search of a job, help women with marital problems, help parents who are Ill-treated by children, conducting health camps and lots more.
