Our story
How Valluvam came to be
Valluvam was born from a simple but powerful realisation: that working together, we can accomplish far more than any of us can alone. A group of Tamil diaspora members in Canada, moved by the persistent struggles facing communities in Sri Lanka, came together to form an organisation grounded in direct action and deep solidarity.
The name Valluvam honours Thiruvalluvar — the revered Tamil poet-philosopher whose Kural speaks of compassion, justice, and the duties we owe one another. His words continue to guide our work.
Rather than imposing solutions from the outside, Valluvam works alongside communities — listening first, building trust, and supporting the self-determined goals of the families and villages we serve.
