Marching towards a more,

“Vallamai” (வல்லமை) means strength — not just physical strength, but the inner power to overcome challenges, stand tall in adversity, and create change.

Vallamai Trust

Founded by Mr. Udhaya Kumar, our Trust stands as a commitment to making opportunities accessible to those who need them most. Under his leadership, the organization has expanded its work across education, nourishment, and empowerment initiatives, always keeping the focus on communities that are underserved.

Mission
To serve with compassion by ensuring food, education, and opportunities reach those who need them most.

Vision
To create a society where no one is left behind where every person, regardless of background, has the strength and support to build a better future.

Our Story

More than six decades ago, Mr. Duraisamy began a journey of compassion and service. With no formal organization or trust, he devoted his time and energy to uplifting those around him, driven purely by goodwill. His selfless work became a beacon of inspiration for many, planting the seeds for what would later grow into a larger movement. Inspired by his father’s legacy, Mr. Udhaya Kumar carried forward the same spirit of service. He saw the need to channel these efforts into a structured form, and thus, our Trust was established a continuation of kindness, built on values of equality, empathy, and empowerment.

We value the Lordship of Jesus Christ!

We acknowledge Jesus Christ as the head of our church and fully submit ourselves to His will. In every aspect of our ministry our goal is always to honor and glorify the Lord Jesus Christ.

We value Bible-centered Preaching and Teaching!

We believe the Bible is God’s inspired authoritative and trustworthy rule of faith and practice for Christians. Therefore, we submit ourselves to its teaching, commit ourselves to do what it says, and yield our lives to become what Christ desires for us to be.

We value Prayer!

We believe in the power of prayer. Therefore, the ministries and activities our church will be characterized by a reliance on personal and corporate prayer in all areas of our lives and ministry.

We value Evangelism and World Missions!


We believe in the Great Commission commanded to us by Jesus Christ and we are committed to reaching unsaved and unchurched people locally, nationally and worldwide. We will use every available Christ-honoring means to pursue, win and disciple the people in our sphere of influence.

We value the Family!

We believe God ordained the family to glorify him. We are committed to cultivate an atmosphere which promotes spiritual growth within the family by reaching families with the gospel, discipling them in Christ-like character and teaching each family member how to fulfill their God-given role.
