About

PYRA – PONDICHERRY YELLOW RIBBON ASSOCIATION is for helping people in need, financially to undergo medical treatment. Also, our PYRA Foundation believes in quality treatment for one and all and it aims to be a platform between like-minded people in coming together to make a positive impact in our society.

It all started out as an idea when I first kept my WhatsApp status asking for a small donation for a particular treatment for a patient. And by God’s Grace, with the help of my friends and family who were able to donate, we managed to give the required amount for their treatment, and that’s when my professor asked me if I could open a WhatsApp group for it, and then the idea of opening a foundation came out, and I wanted to create a platform for like-minded people to come together for a good cause.
