Our History

Rehoboth Is a Registered Charitable Trust. The word ‘Rehoboth’ is from the Hebrew language and it means, “God has made room for us”. Rehoboth Girls’ Orphanage is therefore a very special place where God has made room for those who are in need of a place.

The vision was burning in his heart and he proceeded to build a dormitory for the orphan and destitute children in an ecofriendly land which is in Nellikkunnu Thrissur the cultural capital of Kerala State. On 1905 “REHOBOTH” was born! Soon after, he built a school as he knew how it would enrich the lives of the children if they could read and write.

Ever since, Rehoboth has been a place of shelter for many and has become ‘home’ for young and old and in their need they bonded to become the Rehoboth Family.
