Home is Where the Heart is
Dignity Dialogue|January 2020
Dr. MS Sunil (59) builds homes, facilitates basic aids and offers a life of dignity to the underprivileged in Kerala.
Home is Where the Heart is

In a literal sense of the word, Dr. M S Sunil, a woman doctor with a male name, is truly a ‘home maker’. That’s because she helps build homes for those who cannot do so due to lack of resources. And such has been the inner strength of her mission that she has been doing so unwaveringly for more than 15 years with a home count of more than 100+. Kerala-based Dr. Sunil is a retired zoology professor whose philanthropy is in stark contrast to the wealth that is reflected in both the urban and rural landscape of Kerala where huge houses built from money earned in the UAE and Saudi Arabia are the norm. “Contrary to what is projected, there are many who continue to be without any proper shelter,” she says.
