Karunya Sangha Vedi has restored the shelter of Baby Chechi, an aged mother, who was living alone in an adverse shed like structure with rain water easily getting inside her small hut from the torn plastic sheets above tied together on the surrounding tree branches. Smt Baby is a 70-year-old lady who lives alone near St. Sebastian's Church, Chellanam. When KSV volunteers went there to distribute food kits, the pathetic condition of the lady came in to the attention of KSV Charity. The lady did not have a cot or bed and has to sleep on the cold floor regularly. There was no roof for her small shelter. Instead of roof, she had few torn plastic sheets tied across the nearby tree branches. This had worsened her condition as in winter, rain water splashed all across her room through the holes in the old plastic sheets. KSV donated a new cot to her and started the restoration work of Baby Chechi's house. It took around a month and a half to complete work of raising the wall on the sides of the house, trussing work at the top roof, flooring at the bottom, electrical work, white washing, painting etc. Smt Eunice, Kallarackal, an associate of KSV Charity, has helped Karunya Sangha Vedi in this endeavour.
On 15 Oct, 2023 at 11 am, the house warming ceremony of the renovated house was done.

Planting trees in cities is of utmost importance for numerous reasons. Firstly, trees enhance the overall aesthetic appeal of urban areas, contributing to a more pleasant and inviting environment. They provide shade, which is especially crucial in mitigating the heat island effect and reducing energy consumption for cooling purposes. Additionally, trees act as natural air purifiers, absorbing harmful pollutants and releasing clean oxygen, thus improving air quality and promoting healthier living conditions.
