President
Balamurugan, the visionary founder of Kopper Trust, embodies a relentless commitment to uplift underprivileged communities in Chennai, particularly those residing in the Choolaipallam MGR Nagar slum. His journey into social entrepreneurship began with a profound understanding of the challenges faced by marginalized populations and a steadfast determination to effect lasting change.
Founded in 2017, Kopper Trust stands as a testament to Balamurugan’s dedication and vision. His leadership is rooted in a deep empathy for the residents of the slum, where poverty and lack of opportunities are pervasive. Recognizing education as a powerful catalyst for social mobility, Balamurugan initiated programs to provide quality education to children who otherwise lack access to formal schooling. The trust’s evening tuition centers have become a cornerstone of its efforts, offering educational support to over 50 children from 1st to 8th Standard. Qualified teachers engage students in subjects ranging from mathematics to languages, ensuring a well-rounded academic foundation. In conclusion, Balamurugan’s unwavering dedication and visionary leadership have positioned Kopper Trust as a beacon of hope and empowerment in Chennai’s Choolaipallam MGR Nagar slum. His commitment to education, health, and skill development has not only transformed individual lives but has also catalyzed broader social transformation.
