About Us

Mission

OUR STORY

More than six decades ago, Mr. Duraisamy began a journey of compassion and service. With no formal organization or trust, he devoted his time and energy to uplifting those around him, driven purely by goodwill. His selfless work became a beacon of inspiration for many, planting the seeds for what would later grow into a larger movement.

Inspired by his father's legacy, Mr. Udhaya Kumar carried forward the same spirit of service. He saw the need to channel these efforts into a structured form, and thus, our Trust was established—a continuation of kindness, built on values of equality, empathy, and empowerment.

VALLAMAI TRUST

Founded by Mr. Udhaya Kumar, our Trust stands as a commitment to making opportunities accessible to those who need them most. Under his leadership, the organization has expanded its work across education, nourishment, and empowerment initiatives, always keeping the focus on communities that are undeserved.
