Sangamithra Foundation is a non-profit tax exempt organization and was founded for the purpose of supporting academic institutions in need of basic infrastructure, conduct community awareness sessions about problems associated with tobacco, alcoholism, and the use of drugs, and to provide assistance to communities in need to improve living conditions.
In addition to meeting these goals, Sangamithra Foundation will strive to encourage youth to give back to their community, supply life support equipment to hospitals in need, and collaborate with support groups to reach out to communities needing help.
Beds for 26 Day Care (Anganwadi) Centers:
Sangamithra Foundation donated 130 baby-friendly beds to 26 Anganwadi’s of Alagappanagar Panchayat, Kerala, India. The ceremony was held at Alagappanagar Panchayath Community Hall in Trichur District on November 12th at 10:00AM as part of Childrens Day celebrations. Alagappanagar panchayath president Mrs. Rajeswary inaugurated the function. Mr.Murali Vallath was present during the event to represent Sangamithra Foundation. The toddlers in these day care centers had no proper facilities for their afternoon nap and were forced to sleep either on the floor by spreading a bed sheet or a mat made of palm leaves.
Clothes Drive for People in Homeless Shelters:
Sangamithra Foundation organized a clothes drive in November 2012 to support homeless shelters in Charlotte, NC. Members and non-members alike were very generous with their donations of clothing for men, women, and children. After sorting and boxing the clothing, we made our way to the Union County Community Shelter in Monroe, NC to hand over the donations. The shelter members were very thankful for the donations we made. For those of our members who missed the first phase of our clothes drive and would like to donate clothing or food, please get in touch with us via email or our facebook page. We would like to extend our heartfelt gratitude to all who came to support of this worthy cause.
