Why Volunteer at Trppaadam?

Volunteering at Trppaadam is a life-changing experience—both for those you serve and for yourself.

Our residents—the elderly, mentally challenged, children, and terminally ill—have so much wisdom, joy, and love to share. As a volunteer, you'll witness the profound dignity of every human person and experience the transformative power of compassionate service.

Whether you have a few hours a week or can commit to long-term service, your presence brings comfort, joy, and hope to people who need it most.

"The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others."

— Mahatma Gandhi
