This entity addresses the social problem where the old age people are left behind and kept out of their house. Here they accommodate this kind of people and provide them all the amenities which they can actually provide.

The entity was started by a person named Unnikrishnana (again an Indian), who himself was left alone by his children and other family members. SO he decided to buy a house as a first step and then as the funds grew and people became more he bought a new house which was much bigger.

The organizations mission is to provide shelter for the old aged who has been left alone and make their old age the best with full of fun, laughter and games/activates. And they have been a success till now as today they are mainly a community.
