✦ Where we started
Our Humble Beginnings
In May 2011, our journey began with one mission: no one should go to bed hungry. Starting with food distribution drives in Saidapet, Chennai, we expanded into education, healthcare, skill training, and environmental initiatives — reaching thousands of people across Tamil Nadu.
Unverified — Conflicting founding claims on the source site. Home page: "Established in 2011... Established in 2011, we have been a beacon of hope in Tamil Nadu" and, in the "Our Humble Beginnings" section, "In May 2011, our journey began with one mission: no one should go to bed hungry... Starting with food distribution drives in Saidapet, Chennai." About page, "Where Hope Needed a Home": "When the world slowed down in 2020, many parts of India quietly suffered. A small group of friends, educators, and entrepreneurs decided to act... No logo. No NGO papers. Only intent." Both cannot be the founding year — not resolved.
