Since 1978, the Association for Social Development, Suhruth Sadan (ASDSS) has been a beacon of hope for the less privileged in the Aluva community. Registered under the Travancore Cochin, Literary, Scientific and Charitable Societies Act of 1955, ASDSS strives to empower individuals and uplift communities, regardless of caste, creed, or religion. Guided by the Sisters of the Destitute (S.D) of St. Mary’s Province, we carry forward the legacy of Venerable Fr. Varghese Payyapilly, who envisioned a world where everyone flourishes.
