Years of service to marginalised communities in Tamil Nadu.
Who We Are
A Trust Built on Compassion. Driven by Purpose.
Manolayam Health Care Trust was founded in 2000 with just five intellectual disabled students in a rented building at Koothanallur. Today, we are a full-fledged rehabilitation and community development organisation running three residential special schools, women empowerment programs, health awareness campaigns, and livelihood initiatives across two districts of Tamil Nadu.
Investment in Human Capital leads to Nation Building.
Our work combines special education, therapy, nutrition, vocational guidance, public health awareness, and grassroots organising so that people who are often excluded can live with greater confidence, support, and opportunity.
