}}'''Udavum Karangal''' is a [[philanthropic]] organisation based out of [[Chennai]], [[India]]. This organisation does service taking care of [[orphans]] and other needy people helping them in all forms of [[human development (humanity)|development]]. The [[Entrepreneur|founder]] of this organisation is Mr. Vidyaakar.

Udavum Karangal, which in [[Tamil language|Tamil]] means "Helping Hands", is a [[social service]] organisation, established in 1983, with an objective of serving people in distress who are [[orphans]] & destitutes.

The organisation's beginnings trace back to 1983, when Vidyaakar began his work in a voluntary counselling and guidance centre, as a professional [[social worker]], in the slums of NSK Nagar, [[Chennai]]. A puny, dehydrated, wailing baby boy was brought by a [[Pulled rickshaw|rickshaw]] puller, who had found it, abandoned in a [[Movie theater|cinema]] hall, after a night show. Since then there has been no looking back, neither for Vidyaakar nor for Udavum Karangal.

Udavum Karangal extends help and succour and a new lease of life to nearly 2,000 unfortunate persons from newborn babies, abandoned or [[orphan]]ed to old dying destitutes. The centre provides individualized services, [[therapy|treatment]], [[healthcare|care]], [[Physical medicine and rehabilitation|rehabilitation]] and [[education]] to those in distress.

The activities Udavum Karangal is involved in are:

Residential Care, Short Stay, [[Health Care]], Educational Facilities, [[Psychiatric rehabilitation|Rehabilitation]], [[Ambulance]] & [[Mortuary]] Services, Disaster Management (to the victims of the [[society]] and [[nature]]), Information, Guidance & [[Counselling]].
