Mathew Vattaathara CMI “Let there be no day in your life in which you did no good to others” by Saint Kuriakose Elias Chavara is one of the main values in which Rajagiri outREACH believes in. Rajagiri outREACH has played a pivotal role in bringing positive changes in the community this year. The onset of the COVID – 19 Pandemic has brought much chaos but we believe that we shall tackle this situation too professionally. We have successfully reached out to the needy children, empowered both men and women, worked with youth for a promising tomorrow, held the hands of the elderly and have been the support system for the vulnerable groups. We acknowledge the immense appreciation received from the community and the Government for our humble efforts in creating an opportunity for the overall development of the community. We extend our gratitude to the various Government bodies, partners, funding organizations, corporate sector and beneficiaries for the enormous support extended during the year 2019 – 2020 as we look forward to a better and brighter tomorrow. Message from CEO Dr. Binoy Joseph The initial phases of the COVID – 19 Pandemic has placed much responsibility in the hands of Rajagiri outREACH. We have been able to play a crucial role in the process of mobilizing resources, extending psycho-social support and rehabilitation of vulnerable population. It has been yet another successful year in the history of the organization in terms of effective implementation of programmes, development of a sense of solidarity, inculcation of humanistic values, expansion of service delivery and promotion of community action. We are confident that Rajagiri outREACH will continue to accomplish great feats in the years to come.
