Donation Box
Our resources mainly come from people and institutions that have a mind for charity. In connection with this for resource mobilization we have initiated a process to install Charity boxes at important location all over India. For this we have approached Government as well as private institutions to grant us space to accommodate these boxes. Earlier we had intimated you about this attempt vide the above reference.
Recently we had received permission from the Hon’ble Minister for Civil Aviation, Govt. of India to install Charity boxes at all major airports in India. Accordingly we have placed such boxes in Chennai international airport and all the airports in Kerala. This week the installation will take place in the airports in Andhra Pradesh and subsequently in all other airports.
Leela Group of Hotels and Resorts has already placed our boxes in their hotels. Similarly we are approaching other institutions which have a penchant for charity.

Global Kerala Initiative-Keraleeyam is in an effort to bring them back to the mainstream of life giving them support for their medical, nutritional and educational needs.
