In 2002, a young man named Iyyappan Subramanian witnessed a struggle that would forever alter his life. His path to purpose was paved through personal experience. Growing up in Thiruvarur district, he witnessed the social stigma and ridicule faced by his brother with Down syndrome which profoundly affected him, igniting a powerful calling.
Iyyappan decided to dedicate himself to serving abandoned children with intellectual disabilities. He pursued an education in disability and rehabilitation, and on May 22, 2003, his vision materialized. With a single child under his care, Iyyappan opened the doors of Sri Arunodayam – a haven offering refuge, hope, and a brighter future for children abandoned by their families.
