About Thuvakkam
Change Begins When We Begin.
Founded in 2014 by a group of passionate college students, Thuvakkam began with a simple belief: we can become the change we wish to see in society.
The name Thuvakkam means “Beginning” in Tamil — a reminder that every meaningful change starts with us.
Today, Thuvakkam brings people together through Environment, Education and Humanity, turning compassion and collective action into meaningful social impact.
OUR REACH
