Rising together, one community at a time
Swamy Narayana Varma Udayagiri Charitable Trust is a public charitable trust based in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, working for the health, education, dignity and livelihoods of underserved communities.
To empower marginalised and underserved communities through accessible healthcare, quality education, disability inclusion, sustainable livelihoods and timely relief, working hand in hand with the people we serve.
An equitable society where every person can live with health, dignity and opportunity.
Why “Udayagiri”?
In Sanskrit, udaya means sunrise and giri means hill: the hill over which the sun rises. The name holds our belief that no community is too remote for a new beginning.
The trust was founded by people who wanted to turn that belief into action. We start small and local, listen first, and grow programmes that communities can sustain themselves.

Community ownership
Local people shape and lead the work that affects them.
