The Values
Saratha and Ramaswamy believed that what we have can also be used for the good of others. Their lives reflected a deep sense of humanity — contributing their resources, planting trees, providing food to those who were hungry and helping people around them.
Key Milestones in Our Path of Service
Each milestone represents a step forward in our mission to create healthier, more educated and more resilient communities.
Carrying Their Values Forward

And so, even before the Trust existed, he began helping people with what he could personally contribute.
One helping hand can change a life—and inspire another.
