FOOD For 1000 CHILDREN PROGRAMME
Sri Ayyappa Seva Samaj is a community based Hindu Religious & charitable society formed in 1989 by a group of Lord Ayyappa Devotees in Nairobi. Lord Ayyappa is the deity of Sabarimala temple, in Kerala, India. Devotees, mainly of all South Indian Communities worship the Lord as ‘’Annadhana Prabhu’’ which means ‘’the Lord who provides Food to the needy’’.
