History
Annai Trust is a registered non-religious and non-profit social service organization, established in 2007, with the sole objective of serving people in grief who are orphans & destitutes.

It all started when the Founder, K.K.Raman was appointed as a verification officer in the village Panchayats for the Prestigious President of India Award while he was working with a leading NGO. His work and the desire to help people took him to various corners of Tamilnadu and brought about a sea change in his attitude towards the society.

He wanted to start an NGO so as a first step adopted Pannimadai Village, near Thudiyalur, Coimbatore and his organisation now serves the needs of the Village.

Vision
Our vision is to aid the needy with a sustainable livelihood with focus on child education, health care, empowering women, upliftment of neglected, sanitation and biodiversity conservation.
