Who we are
Service that stays close to home.
REAL Trust was established in 1996 and registered under the Indian Trusts Act, 1882. From its home in Dharapuram, the trust has built a practical, grounded model of care for rural elders: a safe place to live, food cooked with attention, and physiotherapy that helps people keep moving.
More than 25 elders live at the home, and our physiotherapy clinic serves over 50 older people each month. Our programmes reach rural communities across Dindigul, Theni, Karur and Tiruppur — places where families often live far apart and support services are thin.
- A home for 25+ rural elders
- Physiotherapy for 50+ people each month
- Daily meals, care and medical support
- Community programmes across four districts
