About Us
Anbumalar Social Service Vision is a social service organisation started by Mr. P. Selvaraj, the Founder and Secretary in 1998, and registered as a society in the year 2000 with the aim of serving the vulnerable, marginalised, needy sections of society. Anbumalar reaches out to the marginalized and the under privileged with the aim of transforming them into useful and economically independent individuals in society and to teach them to “serve one another in love” in order to live a fulfilled life.
Why we started?
Denial of privileges and rejection/threat of rejection is often the portion of the poor and the marginalized – even the mentally challenged. Specialized services and treatment, love and care are often denied these souls. In such a situation, an outstretched hand which assures love, care and support is as promising as the blossoming of a flower, in their lives. ‘Anbumalar’ in Tamil language means, literally, ‘love flower’! The founder says that he came up with the name Anbumalar to denote the ‘loving service that is to be rendered with a pleasant face’ – which is to serve one another in love.
