Karunyavarsham Charitable Trust began its journey in 2011 with a simple yet impactful mission: to provide free meals to patients and their caregivers Read moreat the Government Medical College Hospital in Ernakulam. This initiative was born out of a realization that many individuals were going hungry due to the lack of nearby food facilities. By serving meals on Sundays, the Trust soon expanded its efforts and officially registered as a charitable organisation in 2013. Since its inception, the Trust has received support from numerous generous donors, enabling it to serve over 400 meals daily to patients and their families, year-round. With sufficient funding, the Trust aims to provide two meals daily, further extending its reach and impact within the community.
