Sri Vivekanandar Ashram


Sri Vivekanandar Ashram is a small orpahanage that is located on the way to Papampatti from Coimbatore..

This Ashram serves around 27 people which includes orphans, people suffering from old age as well as the physically and mentally challenged... The place suffers from severe lack of funds and could definitely do with some external help.
In fact, their condition is so bad that a few students in Coimbatore had to patch up their roof that was literally non-existent.
The ashram's land's lease has also ended recently and they are trying hard to find a new place..
