CALL FOR SUPPORT 
The Kattaikkuttu Gurukulam was established in 2002 by husband-wife duo P. Rajagopal and Hanne M. de Bruin, and has provided Kattaikkuttu training, full-fledged education, and comprehensive care to rural children. 

The COVID-19 pandemic forced the institution to shut its doors in 2020 and with no rural festivals, all Kattaikkuttu performances have also come to a standstill, resulting in professional Kattaikkuttu artistes losing their livelihood and exhausting their reserves. 

We request audiences to consider supporting the artistes by donating to Kattaikkuttu Sangam's Welfare Fund. Donations can be made via www.kattaikuttu.org or Kattaikkuttu Sangam's Facebook page.
