Hunger should never be a barrier to hope. Since 2017, we have conducted weekly food distribution drives to serve nutritious meals to families in need. Every Sunday at Egmore Children’s Hospital, we distribute 250+ food packets to caregivers of hospitalized children. Every Saturday at 2 PM at the Cancer Institute in Guindy, we offer fruits and biscuits to families in distress. This ongoing initiative ensures that no caregiver is left hungry while tending to a loved one.
Clothing is about more than comfort it's about dignity and inclusion. Through our Anbusuvar wardrobe-on-wheels, donors contribute clean clothes and toys at Egmore Hospital, which are distributed directly to underprivileged families. During festivals like Diwali, we provide new dresses to terminally ill children and children in rural areas, helping them celebrate with joy and pride.
Access to menstrual hygiene remains a challenge for many rural women and schoolgirls. Our initiative focuses on distributing sanitary napkin kits and raising awareness about menstrual health, particularly in underserved regions. By ensuring access and promoting open conversations, we aim to protect the dignity, health, and confidence of women and girls.
