“SANTHWANAM” concept
was pioneered by a group of 9 friends in
Kuwait
, based on many human principles & values.
SANTHWANAM’s unpretentious
beginning trace back to January 2001 when a group of 9
friends in Kuwait had given attention to a televised program about the pathetic
conditions of deprived people suffering from acute diseases and
struggling between life and death due to lack of medical care. The group
decided to contribute a nominal amount on monthly basis to help such ill-fated people.
Enormous encouragement and appreciation
from friends, relatives and colleagues motivated the group to organize a voluntary
forum called “SANTHWANAM”. Today, SANTHWANAM entertains with more than 900 dedicated
like-minded individuals and has helped more than 900 miserable persons to get medical
treatment particularly in Kerala and other regions of
India
as well. “SANTHWANAM” provides financial
aid for an average of 25 poor patients per month for medical treatment.
