Bala Mandir Kamaraj Trust – Presentation

Among the many things that our Foundation does, one of them is undertake Health Related Outreach Charitable Activities. We are always looking for an organisation to support. One of our members suggested Bala Mandir Kamaraj Trust. This was an organisation that was established in 1949 by late Sri. K.Kamaraj and Smt. S. Manjubhashini. It is today a premier Social Welfare Organisation. 

The core activity of Bala Mandir is its Children’s Programme. This covers all the ac

tivities related to the holistic development of the children admitted to full-time care in Bala Mandir’s Homes in Chennai and Nagercoil. Bala Mandir is also an approved specialized Adoption Agency and all adoptions take place through the Central Adoption Resource Authority (CARA).

Two of the directors of our Foundation visited their centre in Chennai. We were so impressed with the way it is set up and run that we had no hesitation of handing them a cheque for medical expenses incurred for their children. Ms. Sangetha one of the co-ordinators who took us around

said the money will be spent on vaccinating children under their care. Having seen the place we thought our members may like to learn more about it. We therefore requested Sangeetha to arrange for someone to talk to our group online about the organisation and about the varied activities that they undertake. They have obliged us by agreeing to talk on the 7th of May. Members will be sent the details of this event shortly.
