300+ free meals, served with love every single day
Through Anna Seva, Vedha Trust feeds pregnant mothers in government free hospitals and their attendants, roadside destitute people and anyone facing hunger in The Nilgiris. Free of cost, every day.
From 50 meals to 300+ every day
During the COVID-19 pandemic, as the livelihoods of our hill-tribe communities were severely affected, Vedha Trust started a free food distribution drive. We began modestly, feeding 50 people a day.
Seeing the lack of income and the low standard of living in these hilly areas, the initiative steadily grew. Today Vedha Trust prepares and serves more than 300 free meals every day.
Who we serve
- Pregnant women from backward communities admitted to government free hospitals, and their attendants
- Roadside destitute people
- People suffering from extreme hunger
Yoga and natural healing for tribal communities
Since it was founded in 2018, Vedha Trust has been dedicated to the social and health upliftment of tribal communities across The Nilgiris and Tamil Nadu.
We began by spreading health and educational awareness through Yoga, Acupuncture and Varma therapies. To date, we have taught yoga to over 5,000 tribal individuals, including 2,000 tribal girls. Through continuous training, many of these students have represented our district and achieved remarkable success in State and National level Yoga competitions.
We work with the Toda, Kota, Kurumba, Irula, Paniya and Kattunayakan peoples of The Nilgiris, bringing every programme to them free of cost.
