Who we are
Lighting a candle
in a child's life.
Welcome to Janaka Janani Kripa Gurukulam Trust (JJK Gurukulam Trust), a charitable and social service organization dedicated to providing education, care, and a nurturing home for children from underprivileged and dysfunctional families.
We admit children from economically challenged backgrounds where often one or both parents are absent, or where difficult family circumstances prevent proper care and education for the child. Along with shelter, clothing, books, and nutritious vegetarian food, we provide value-based education in a safe and supportive environment. The children also attend nearby public schools for their formal education.
2006Our journey began
Our all-boys Gurukulam is located at Vattiyoorkavu in Thiruvananthapuram, Kerala, South India, and was established in 2006. Since then, many children have completed their stay at the Gurukulam and have greatly benefited from the guidance, care, and education provided here.
At JJK Gurukulam, we strive to create a secure, peaceful, and congenial atmosphere where children can grow into confident, responsible, and capable individuals who are ready to participate successfully in society.
Along with formal education, the Gurukulam introduces children to the timeless values of Indian culture and spirituality, including dharma (righteous living), dhyana (meditation), and yoga (self-discipline and inner harmony).
Our guiding inspiration comes from the Upanishadic prayer:
Tamaso Ma Jyotir Gamaya “Lead us from darkness to light”.
Rather than complaining about the darkness in life, we believe in lighting a candle.
Come, join us in bringing light, hope, and opportunity into the lives of many more children.
