Love, Care, Respect

Compassion in Action for the Forgotten and Overlooked

At CEFEE, inclusion goes beyond therapy rooms and classrooms—it extends to the streets, shelters, hospitals, and homes where people are often left unseen. “Love, Care, Respect” is one of CEFEE's most heartfelt outreach programs, rooted in the belief that every human being—regardless of their background, condition, or circumstance—deserves to be treated with dignity.

This initiative reaches out to the elderly, the homeless, the abandoned, the terminally ill, and others in crisis, delivering not only material support but emotional connection and human touch.

How It Began

The program was born from CEFEE's realisation that many people, especially those with disabilities or mental health issues, fall through the cracks of formal care systems. Dr. Mary Anitha, who often visits hospitals and streets herself, launched this program to serve those with no one to speak for them—not just by offering charity, but by restoring dignity.

Not Just Charity—Restoring Humanity

“Love, Care, Respect” is about more than giving—it's about acknowledging. A touch, a smile, a conversation, a shared meal—these simple acts restore a sense of belonging to those who feel forgotten. Volunteers are trained to engage with empathy and without judgment, offering services with humility, not superiority.

Impact So Far

CEFEE's initiatives have delivered measurable and meaningful impact across communities, particularly during times of crisis:

  • Over 5,000 nutritious meals were distributed across Ernakulam during the COVID-19 pandemic, ensuring food security for the most vulnerable. Remarkably, these meals were prepared and dispatched from the Chairman's residence over a span of 50 days, reflecting a deeply personal commitment to the cause.
  • 150+ visits to shelters and hospitals, involving direct care, engagement, and emotional support for individuals in distress.
  • Timely emergency assistance provided to families and children facing health emergencies and housing instability.
  • Robust collaborations established with local NGOs, hospitals, and community leaders to maximize outreach and sustain long-term impact.
