Mr. Menon expressed his profound condolences for the lives lost and families displaced by the landslides. “In
this hour of distress, we stand in solidarity with the people of Wayanad. Our pledge to build 50 homes is
aimed at providing not only immediate relief but also long-term support to the affected families,” he stated.
The construction of these 50 homes in Wayanad would be in an addition to the 1000 homes, that Sobha
Group is already building for the underprivileged families in Palakkad district in Kerala.
The selection process for the beneficiary families will be based on impartial criteria, ensuring that the aid
reaches those most in need. The construction and funding of these homes will be managed through the Sri
Kurumba Educational and Charitable Trust, established by Mr. PNC Menon and Mrs. Sobha Menon. This
Trust has been instrumental in driving philanthropy and spearheading various CSR initiatives in Kerala.
Mr. Menon, who has dedicated 50% of his wealth towards advancing social welfare, believes in the
transformative power of philanthropy. He firmly believes that contributing to the community is not an act of
charity but a moral responsibility to uplift society.
His commitment to contributing to the community is reflected in numerous initiatives across education,
healthcare, and social empowerment. From serving on the Board of Governors of the Rashid Centre for
People of Determination in Dubai, contributing significantly to the Al Jalila Foundation and Noor Dubai, to
impactful projects in India such as the Sobha Healthcare Centre, Sobha Academy, and various women
empowerment programs, Mr. Menon’s efforts have touched lives across the globe.
By pledging to build 50 homes in Wayanad, Sobha Group reaffirms its commitment to social responsibility
and community support. This initiative significantly contributes to the rehabilitation efforts in Wayanad and
highlights the Group’s dedication to making a positive impact in the lives of those affected by natural
calamities.
