S.S.Samithi(Sarvathrika Sahodarya Samithi) entered into the social service for the upliftment of the downdroppen people in 1994. We started our activities at the District Government Hospital in Kollam, where urgent attention was required for the poor patients left out by their family and relatives

We have come across varoius kinds of people suffering from different kinds of diseases. They were brought from remote ares in the district. In the beginning, oyr activities were concentrated on providing free food to about 100 poor and destitude patients at District Hospital everyday. Now we are providing food for more than 300 poor and destitude patients everyday, and also decided to take full care for the people left out in the street and admitted to the Hospital.

We have realized that most of the mentally disranged patients reaching the Kollam town from different states are either thrown out by thr family or have become wanderers due to their mental problem. Such mentally disabled patients couldn't remember either their place of orgin or family. They came to this extremely unhealthy condition due to lack of food,cleanliness and minimum requirements of clothing and toilet facilities. Under the auspices of the Samithi, a house of shelter,by the name "Savathrika Sahodarya samithi Abhayakendram" was started on 15^th August 1998 at Mayyanad, 15 kms away from Kollam city. Presently about 330 mentally disabled persons,men,women and 13 orphaned childen taken from the streets are given shelter in the Abhayakendram. The mental patients are given the best medical treatment and taken care of providing human assistance using the best methods of love and treatment. Thus they are made to feel homely life. from the total number of inmates who remained in the samithi was able to send back home about 400 persons fully recovered from illness, and were totally capable of leading normal lives in the society.

Our Motto And Desire

It is our Ultimate motto and sincere effort that not even a single human being should be left out in the street without fulfilling their basic need to live and the requirement of food,clothing,shelter and medicine.
