About Us

HEARTS’ CRY Inc. (HC) was founded in 1999 to assist destitute and low-income families residing in the village of Mattampally, India. By providing educational sponsorships, grants, in-kind donations and other forms of aid, HC works to improve the quality of life for the Mattampally community.

HC sponsors a variety of programs in Mattampally targeting education, economic development, health & nutrition, elder care and community-building.

HC maintains an office in Ithaca, New York where volunteers perform all office administration and fund raising activities.

In Mattampally the HC India Program Coordinator works in conjunction with a local nonprofit organization, the Jeveena Jyothi Charitable Trust (JJCT), to identify community needs and to develop and manage on-site programming. JJCT is a nondenominational organization, formed for the sole purpose of receiving and distributing HC humanitarian aid donations in Mattampally. JJCT was founded by Fr. George Allam, who volunteers his time as director and visits the village on weekends to oversee programming. Staff positions include doctor, nurse, women's development coordinator, community center cook and tutors.
