Our Children's Home · Since the 1970s

A Home of
Belonging & Dignity

Originally established by Tamilnadu Samuga Seva Sangam in 1969, taken over by Sitthar Koodam in 2011 and renamed Num Kulandaigal Illam — "Our Children's Home" — to ensure they feel embraced by a family, not managed by a program. Located in Arutpa Nagar, Kallikudi, Madurai–Virudhunagar Highway.
