Help us provide access to living space to homeless families in Kerala

A large section of economically backwards homeless poor families living in the District has been approaching the Rotary Club of Calicut South to help find a solution to the immediate necessity of allotment of a small budget dream house for their living. It is seen that most of the homeless identified are just living only in sheds without rooftops covered by tarpaulin sheets. They are unable to bear the cost of land and construction with the low wage earnings of one or two in the family on a day-to-day basis. Besides, the trauma of meeting the educational needs of children of such living families is unbearable.

The Rotary Club District involved in the community welfare activities has been consistently pursuing various aspects of low-cost housing projects introduced by the Government agencies such as Pradhan Mantri Aavas Yojana and Life Mission Projects but the requirements are in large number which warrants approaching suitable donors as sponsors for the construction. 

In such a scenario, the Club decided to approach various Trusts functioning in the District involved in charitable activities who could contribute to the cause by way of sponsorship. Sree Subramania Trust, Karikkamkulam, Kozhikode (Kerala), India which is involved in charitable work by way of free treatment to the poorest living in the remotest Adivasi areas of the district, came forward to contribute in a positive manner. 

Sree Subramania Trust in collaboration with the Rotary Club of Calicut South proposed the construction of 10 low-cost houses in the district for genuine homeless families.

It is intended to utilize the background of the Sree Subramania Trust which is involved in the charitable cause and is a registered institution in the District that has the facility of ‘Income Tax’ Exemption to the donors who donate sums for the community welfare schemes by the SS Trust in coordination with the Rotary Club of Calicut South which also has such facilities.

Our Vision: Provide access to a living space for homeless families in the society

Our Mission: Enabling underprivileged people to have access to live a healthy and sustainable livelihood(shelter, food, clothing, well-being)

How can you help: A small donation can make big difference in someone's life. The donated funds will be utilized in the construction of houses for homeless families which will help implementation of the proposed housing project in the Kozhikode district of Kerala, India

Financial implications of the proposed housing project(10 families) :

The proposed one-house construction is intended to accommodate 500 Sq.ft., the cost of per sq. ft being Rs.1200/-. Thus the proposed cost involvement would be as under:

1. 500 Sq ft x Rs. 1200 = Rs. 6,00,000
2. Rs.6,00,000 x 10(houses) = Rs.60,00,000
3. Additional costs involved for peripheral expenses would be on completion of the project. 

Housing Plan:

As per the drawn-up plan for ‘one house’ of the project, it is intended to accommodate one bedroom, one living room, inclusive of a bathroom /Toilet, and a kitchen as per the plan which is found to be very attractive. The construction plan is attached. 

Site for the Construction:

As it may not be feasible to find an exclusive construction site for the construction of 10 housings within a complex, it is proposed that the construction would be carried out within the available space of ownership land of the homeless poor wherever possible. This would facilitate the accessibility of the applicant to the best accommodative area of their living in the District as far as possible. 

The project aims to provide a living space(a dream home) by helping build houses for 10 homeless families this year(2022-2023) in the Kozhikode district of Kerala.

Sree Subramania trust in collaboration with the Rotary Club of South Calicut urges you to provide your maximum support. A small donation can make a big difference in someone's life!!

Charity begins at home, but should not end there!!
