Our story
A prayer garden that grew into a house of service
Elshadai Jebathottam Trust began with a small group meeting under a tamarind tree to pray for the families around them. What started as prayer soon became provision — a sack of rice here, a hospital bill there, then school fees for children who had stopped going.
Today the trust runs a daily kitchen, sponsors children through school, holds free medical camps in remote panchayats, and supports widows and elders who have nobody else. The work is carried by volunteers and funded entirely by people who choose to give.
We keep our promise simple: what you give goes where you sent it, and we will tell you exactly how it was used.

Local hands
Our volunteers live in the villages they serve, so help arrives fast and stays long.
