Mar Thimotheus Memorial Orphanage (MTM) is located in the city
Trichur in the state Kerala. The city is located a bit far from the
sea on the way to the mountains. The orphanage was established in
1962 by a lady called Mrs. Mooken but is now run by the Eastern
Orthodox Church (Syrian Church). Fr. Ignotius is in charge of the
home beside his parish work. Today the orphanage cares for about 60
children at age of 4-20 years old with the help of Bharat India-Aid
and the individual sponsors. The aim is to provide a good home for
them and also an education that will give them a better chance in
life when they become adults. Between 1994-1995 Bharat India-Aid
renovated the orphanage, which was in a very bad condition. Besides
the orphanage the society runs a small hospital and some vocational
schools.
