Some without memory. Some without hope. But none leave without love.
At Amma Nanna Anada Ashramam, we believe that every life has value, no matter how forgotten or misunderstood it may seem.
In a world that often measures worth by productivity, appearance, or ability, thousands are cast aside simply because they don’t fit society’s mold — especially those who are mentally challenged, abandoned, or living on the streets. But here at our Ashram, we see them differently.
Each person who arrives at Amma Nanna has a story — often painful, often ignored. Some come without names. Some without memory. Some without hope. But none leave without love.
We provide more than shelter or food. We give them family, dignity, and care. Through daily support, medical attention, and unconditional acceptance, we help them rediscover their worth.
Mental illness and intellectual disability still carry stigma in many parts of our society. People are often labeled “mad,” “useless,” or “dangerous.” But the truth is — they are simply human — in need of compassion, patience, and care.
At Amma Nanna, we don’t see their limitations. We see their potential for joy, their smiles, their ability to give and receive love.

It doesn’t take much to change a life. A warm meal. A kind word. A safe space. That’s what Amma Nanna Anada Ashramam offers — and that’s what your support makes possible.
Let’s continue to prove the world wrong — that no one is useless. Every life is precious. Every soul is sacred.
