Vishranthi came into existence in 1978, by the efforts of a voluntary organisation of housewives called, The Monday Charity Club. Vishranthi’s main aim is to provide sustenance to aged and destitute women. Starting with one inmate in a rented house, Vishranthi now has over 100 people in its one-acre plot at Palavakkam, Chennai.

The guiding philosophy of Vishranthi is freedom of action. The campus inmates take stints at gardening, nursing, tailoring and cooking. It also has Malarchi, a house for girls whose father’s whereabouts are not known. A short-stay home for elderly women and an isolated hall for mentally disturbed women have been constructed.

Donations in cash and kind are accepted. Donations to the Vishranthi Charitable Trust are exempt from tax under 80 G of the Income Tax Act , 1961.
