Kalaimagal Karunalaya looks after senior citizens in Kolathur, Chennai. We provide meals, care, company and a safe place to live - around the clock, every single day.
Kalaimagal Karunalaya was started by Safrin Farhiem with one simple belief - that every elderly person deserves to be looked after with respect and warmth, no matter their circumstances.
We are based in Ganesh Nagar, Kolathur, Chennai, and we run completely on the generosity of donors and well-wishers. Every day, our team provides food, medical attention, and genuine companionship to the elders in our care.
We are not a big institution. We are a family. The elders here are not residents - they are our people, and we treat them that way.
"Old age is not a disease. It is a stage of life that deserves the same love and attention we give to every other stage."- Our founding principle

We run entirely on donations. There are no government grants. What keeps this place going is the kindness of people like you.
Your money goes directly to food, medicines, bedding, and daily care. Even a small amount makes a real difference to the people living here.
