Kerala Link is a very small charity organisation, trying to make a big difference to the lives of a few groups of disadvantaged people in South India. It is fully registered by the Charity Commission in the UK (Registered Charity No. 1096687) and we have recently succeeded in registering a branch office in Kerala.
Kerala Link is run by a small team of dedicated trustees and other volunteers from the UK and by our wonderful Volunteer Coordinator, Kerala Link's only employee, in India.
Caroline, the founder-trustee, together with her family, has been living in Kerala for the past three years, overseeing the work of the charity there.
Other trustees visit Kerala when they can.
