This house was constructed for one Mr. Satheesh & family. Mr. Satheesh and his wife, parent 2 little girls. But, due to their serious ailments they are unable to make two - ends meet.
Philokalia Foundation was informed about the condition by the locals of that area in the meantime our Chairman Mr. Mario Joseph alongwith his wife Giji Mario swung into action by first visiting the site and then seeing the condition of the family the decided to start the work immediately. They met Mr. Satheesh and his family and assured them to help them out of their problem.

Philokalia Foundation was involved in a similar Housing Project but, with a different backstory.
The house was built for two little children who lost their mother in a cold blooded murder committed by their own father. By the Grace of God and a few kind hearted Samaritans they received a small piece of land measuring 4 Cents approx.
