It was the kindness of a stranger that put a roof over Murugan’s head, who had lived many years of his childhood on the streets of Kochi while scavenging through garbage to fill his stomach. When he could finally manage to fend for himself, he decided to return the favor by embarking on a lifelong mission to ensure that the homeless in his city will have someone to care for them.
Through his organization, Theruvora Pravarthaka Association, Murugan has rescued thousands of homeless children, elderly and ailing people from across Kerala over the last two decades and has given them a sense of dignity that even the state government failed to provide.
