{About
the mission}
Since its inception in 1988, the trust was active
with a mission to care for the most neglected ones
in the society. By
the Grace of God, we could start a free clinic to
give free medical care to the extend possible, with
the help of doctors who are church members.
In
1991, the trust started institutional accommodation
for the destitute old people. In 1994, purchased 5
acres of land at Redhills and started construction.
With the good-hearted support of the church members,
well wishers and philanthropies in and around Chennai,
we could construct the building for “Shanthi
Bhavan” and old age home was shifted there.
With the completion of second phase in 1998, separate
wings for ladies and gents were made available and
by this time the strength increased up to 50. The
demand is invariably
increasing and we are facing lack
of space and infrastructure.
More
than a hundred of destitute and mentally retarded
were looked after by “Shanthi Bhavan”
since its conception. 35 inmates including a respectful
priest, passed away peacefully and we are proud to
say in the name if God, that all of them had a respected
burial than they deserve as a destitute.

Thomas Charitable trust, with a view to provide;
