Our Work

Rescue – Roadside People

Since 2017, KUT rescues abandoned and homeless senior citizens across Tamil Nadu who live without care, shelter or family.

Some have been left behind by families who could no longer cope. Some walked away during an episode of illness and never found their way back. All of them are living without care, shelter or family — often for years, in the same few streets.

The program provides immediate assistance, medical care, counselling and long-term support, while our team works patiently to trace relatives and reunite people with their families wherever it is safe and possible.
