About Us

Restoring Dignity, Rebuilding Lives

Karunai Ullangal Trust (KUT) is a charitable, secular and non-political NGO established in 2017.

Karunai Ullangal Trust (KUT) is a charitable, secular and non-political non-governmental organisation established in 2017 (Govt. Reg. No. 1414/2017), dedicated to rescuing, rehabilitating and restoring dignity to homeless, elderly and mentally challenged individuals living on the streets across Tamil Nadu.

Through rescue operations, medical and psychiatric care, shelter, rehabilitation and family reunification, KUT provides life-changing assistance completely free of charge.

Every day, our teams walk the pavements, bus stands and market corners where people have been left behind — and stay with them long after the rescue, until health, confidence and, wherever possible, family have been restored.
