About Sahodharan

The ‘Sahodharan’ charitable project aims to convey a message of ‘universal brotherhood’.

His Holiness Baselios Marthoma Mathews III, Catholicos of the East and Malankara Metropolitan, on his 73rd birthday on February 12, 2022, launched ‘Sahodharan’ (meaning ‘brother’ in Malayalam), a charitable project in the blessed memory of his predecessor late HH Baselios Marthoma Paulose II, the former Catholicos who passed away on 12 July 2021.

This initiative is for the financially distressed offers monetary aid and assistance for affordable housing, wedding grants, educational help, healthcare support (to cancer, heart, kidney, paralyzed, and mental health patients), protection for the physically and mentally challenged, care for the elderly and benefits for the minimum wage workers. These are the seven primary categories the charity will endow and support in the coming years.

As Christians, we are called to fulfill the mandate of helping the poor, following the example set by Jesus Christ. He dedicated His life to assisting the marginalized, healing the sick, feeding the hungry, and comforting the downtrodden.

Recognizing that we are stewards of God's blessings and resources, it becomes our duty to use these provisions to assist others, especially those less fortunate. This act of kindness is a way of expressing gratitude for what we have received, ultimately enhancing our spiritual well-being.

In accordance with Christian teachings, aiding the poor is rooted in love, compassion, and the obligation of believers to care for and uplift those in need, embodying the teachings and character of Jesus Christ.

The goal of Sahodharan is to reach out to the poor and the needy, assisting them in overcoming their current challenges. Let us come together to make a difference and extend a helping hand to those who need it most.
