More about Uravugal Trust
We do the final rites of the mortal remains of homeless and unknown corpses. Unfortunately, these people have been ignored by their children and society during their lifetime and they end up on the streets where they beg and do whatever they could to have few square meals a day. Right from the inception of this organization we have buried close to 950+ dead bodies of homeless and sick people, old people dying on the roads, people dying due to natural calamities, small kids who passed away while treatment. We don't ask a rupee from the grieving family to perform the last rites. We undertake everything. Apart from this, we have also rescued and rehabilitated 50+ old aged homeless people and relocated them to old age homes.
Vision
To create a nation free from homelessness
Mission
Not just life, death deserves some dignity too. With the same core aspect, we have started 'Uravugal Trust' towards burial of unknown and homeless corpses. This was started by Mr.Khaalid Ahamed (Founder and President) with their friends in the year 2017. Our team comprises of youngsters from age 18 - 25 who have come forward understanding the depth of this cause and the need to stand by such families during the time of death. Almost 80% of our volunteers are college students across Chennai.
