who we are

Nila Seva Samithi

Nila Seva Samithi (NILA) is a charitable NGO founded in 2001, dedicated to supporting marginalized communities through education, healthcare, livelihood, disaster relief, and environmental sustainability. We run several key programs, including *Thanal Balashramam* (a childcare home for girls above 6 years and boys 6-10 years), *Thanal Sisumandiram* (a Foundling Home for children up to 6 years), *Sree Vilwadrinatha Sevasramam* (for boys above 10 years), and *Thanal Mathrusadanam* (an old age home for women aged 55 and above). Additionally, we provide essential services through our *Domestic Violence Shelter* and service center, offering food, medical care, education, and vocational training. We also operate *Nila Vidya Nikethan, a low-fee primary school (an NIOS-based school). Our **Palliative Care Unit* supports over 100 bedridden patients, and our new project, *Karnikaram – Village for Differently Abled*, focuses on the rehabilitation and upliftment of individuals with disabilities. Our mission is to improve lives, promote inclusivity, and create a sustainable future for all.
