S.S. Samithi (Sarvathrika Sahodarya Samithi) entered in to the social service for the upliftment of the downtrodden people in 1994. We started our activities at the District Government Hospital, Kollam, where urgent attention was required for the poor patients left out by their family and relatives. We have come across various kinds of people suffering from different kinds of diseases. They were brought from remote areas in the District. In the beginning, our activities were concentrated on providing free food to about 100 poor and destitute patients every day, and also decided to take full care for the people left out in the street and admitted to the hospital.
