We are a group of committed Catholic Christians working for the common good in India. In June 2024, we established a trust under the name Father Sebastian Karambai Foundation.
Our mission is to "Do everything in love" so that all children, students, the elderly, and deserving candidates — regardless of their faith — from difficult and low-income backgrounds have access to high-quality healthcare and education.
Our key areas of focus:
With the motto "To Serve Others With God's Love," we hope to create a meaningful difference by bringing about comprehensive life changes and development for those in need.
To ensure every person has access to high-quality education, a welcoming environment, and financial support so that they can live a happy and sustainable life — creating a society where everyone can reach his/her full potential.
