Founders Message

We at Tabitha always believed in the principle of ‘What we gave back to society rather than what the society gave to us’

The idea of starting an Old age home started when I saw a 90 years old woman in a village called Kallakuru, there was no one to look after her, at first I thought to take her to my home and look after her then it stuck me that if I did that I can only look after her but by establishing an organization I can look after many old and orphan people.

Starting with one member TDS is now looking after 40 beneficiaries. From the year 2013 we have started nursing services. Services are provided to bed ridden people. From the year 2016 we started to provide life time services. My long-term goal is to start an orphanage under the name of MANA Foundation.
