About the Share & Care

SHARE & CARE is a charitable society based at Kaipuzha in Kottayam, Kerala came into existence on 23rd April 2014. Share and Care Charitable Society is a registered organization under the act of 1955 Travancore Cochin Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Registration Act as Reg.No. KTM/TC/244/2014.

The origin and establishment of the Society is related to the Bicentenary Jubilee Celebrations of St.George Forane Church, Kaipuzha in 2013. As part of Jubilee Celebrations, a “Pravasi Sangamam” was held at Sehion Cultural Centre Kaipuzha, on 30th January 2013 for people who are working abroad from the Parish. This was well organized by a team of twenty members of the “Pravasi Committee” lead by Mr. Shaji Kannalayil. Though the Jubilee celebrations were over, the twenty members of the above committee continued their monthly gathering and later decided to form a charitable society under the leadership of Shaji Kannalayil. Subsequently, fifty two more like-minded people also joined in this team and formed the SHARE & CARE Charitable Society by formulating and drafting a constitution. The Society was inaugurated by Rev. Fr. Dr. Luke Puthrukayil, the Vicar of St.George Forane Church Kaipuzha in the first General Body meeting chaired by the President.

The society was formed with the intention to offer a helping hand to all suffering and needy people. Assistance in various forms like financial assistance for medical treatment, poor children’s education, marriage of girls from poor families, a home for homeless people, blood donation, promotion of organ donation, and many other ways that are the urgent need of the less privileged group of the society.

In addition to the above, the society supports community based rehabilitation for all types of disabled. The members of the society undertake visiting hospitals, hospices, homes for the mentally challenged, physically handicapped, old age homes, palliative care centers – Care for HIV, AIDS, TB, CVA, Alzheimer’s disease, Parkinson’s disease and other terminal illness. Psychological counseling, Empathetic listening prayer and supportive therapy are inspiring services to our needy brothers. This will, of course, go a long way in imparting holistic health care to all irrespective of cast and creed.
