Governance

Our Team
The full time staff of ThiruOli Charitable Trust lives in a village called NallurVayal (which is 30 kms from Coimbatore City in Tamilnadu, India). This village is located on the foothills of the Siruvani hills close to the forest.

We live in a small structure erected on the small piece of land which our founder bought in 2004. This is very close to a tribal settlement called Kalkuthipathi. As we actively work with the tribals here, we continue to live here.

We believe in simple living and selfless service. Our trust office and the house where the staff lives is a humble structure. We still do not have electricity where we are located.
Since 2004 till May, 2013 we did not have clean drinking water as well. In June, 2013 few noble people sponsored a bore well, motor and dynamo due to which we hope to get drinking water close to where we stay soon.

Our Values

We are a dedicated and passionate team working tirelessly towards the implementation of welfare initiatives for the underprivileged rural community. The values that we have imbibed from our founder and our work attracted leaders from various backgrounds to guide and mentor us. Thus the Board of Directors was formed.
