They serve close to 350 children through their centers in two locations – Kureekkad and Vyttila. Another 110 kids receive services at home through their community service units. On average, the cost involved for one child is around INR 2000 ($30) per month. For the Trust to run smoothly, close to INR 6,50,000 ($10,000) should come through donations each month.

Thanks for the great support for Kerala Club/Care & Share team [Rooesh Kelambath [Lead], Mahesh Kamath, Ashley Elenjickal, Anjana Vinod & Sudeep PK) for Seattle to Portland Bike Ride in 2015. Kerala Sports Club Seattle partnered with Care & Share to raise over $5,000 to support our project to rehabilitate children with visual, auditory, and multiple physical disabilities. For children when are afflicted with this level of disabilities, there is rarely any institution that can empower them to meet their most basic day-to-day needs. National Association of Blind, Kerala Branch, is the only organization in Kerala providing services to such children. The project was started in 2008 with 26 kids in the Trivandrum district, but since then has grown fivefold, currently serving around 125 kids. Details at http://www.careandshare.com/stp2015.html
