Freedom Foundation
The Chummy Chum Foundation teamed up with the Freedom Foundation in delivering help to the most in need.
The Freedom Foundation was founded by Dr. Ashok Rau and the late Mr. Karl Sequeira in 1992. It aims to pioneer affordable treatment and rehabilitation that make a difference in the lives of those affected by alcohol/drug addictions and those living with HIV/AIDS and also reduce stigma associated with these conditions.
The story of the founders is worth sharing - with a dream and little or no finances, the two of them set out on a path of establishing a de-addiction center in Bangalore. Their first patient was an Italian. Slowly, word spread around and the numbers grew. In 1995, unable to accommodate the increasing flow of patients from all over India, they shifted to a chicken farm. Karl and Ashok lived on the premises and did everything themselves – from cutting grass and doing masonry for the sheds to cooking and looking after patients. This made a big difference. And the world started to take notice.
