The Akshaya Home

Building a Home Takes Time & Funding

The conception of the Akshaya Home started in the early days of Akshaya Trust. Careful planning with the help of architects, engineers and builders has produced a plan that will give the residents a secure, durable and easy to maintain place to live.

Site preparation started in 2009 followed by building construction in early 2010. The construction pace has been controlled by many factors with available funds being the most significant.

Furnishing the Home

With the construction of the Akshaya Home nearing completion increasing attention is being given to the many items that will be needed to make the Home functional. A growing list of needed items has been posted on this site and is periodically updated. View the list often and see if there are items you may want purchased in your name through a donation.

Building A Home

After a decade of feeding the hungry and helping the destitute Akshaya has a new initiative — its largest to date. The Akshaya Home will be a shelter for the homeless, a haven for the sick and a place to provide additional continuous care for those in need. The following table shows the status of contruction of the various blocks of the Akshaya Home complex.

The northeast monsoon season typically runs from October to December and brings intense rain to southern India. This year has been no exception. The pace of onstruction at the Akshaya Home complex has been slowed down but work continues as the weather allows. Check out the current progress below:
