“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 1500 dedicated like-minded individuals and has helped more than 2000 miserable persons to get medical treatment particularly in Kerala and other regions of India as well.  “SANTHWANAM” provides financial aid for an average of 45 poor patients per month for medical treatment.

Our Goals & Achievements

 

Looking back we see years of great challenges of our dedicated work – As it has always been our endeavour to respond to the call of people in sorrow and grief, SANTHWANAM came forward with medical treatment aid for many individuals & their families.  Through intensive efforts on the ground, we have striven to keep our promises to the beneficiary communities.  This placed a tremendous demand on performance from our kind-hearted members, friends, colleagues and well-wishers, which they executed with exemplary courage and dedication.  We recognize with appreciation their efforts in the accomplishment of our commitments.

 

We are very fortunate that we continue to receive the trust and support of many hundreds of concerned friends including individuals, visual/print media and some good establishments.  This has given us a lot of strength and encouragement in our work.

 

Our Hope

 

As an organization working for the poorest of poor for medical care, and rehabilitation by realizing the human commitments, this has an increasingly important revealance for our work as we find more and more support, participation and action from different segments in the society.  We are very hopeful that this will increase substantially as we take forward our work for the deprived and distressed in the society, and build our efforts to meet the emerging needs in future too. 

 

SANTHWANAM look ahead to expand the reach of new initiatives for the poor and helpless, and strengthening our on-going endeavours to serve them together with one heart and one vision.
