Our Team

At Amma Foundation, our team is not just a group of people working for a cause. It is a circle of hearts committed to restoring dignity through love, service, and inclusion. The core of our mission is to ensure that orphans, persons with disabilities, and abandoned individuals, who are often excluded from society’s most sacred traditions, receive the right to marry with dignity and joy.

We believe that marriage is more than a celebration. It is a recognition of identity, companionship, and social belonging. And we believe that no one, regardless of disability, poverty, or abandonment, should be denied this fundamental right to love and partnership. Our team stands as a family behind every such marriage.

Sri Nagamalla Anil Kumar: The Soul Behind Every Union

At the very heart of Amma Foundation is Sri Nagamalla Anil Kumar, our founder and guiding light. For him, arranging marriages for orphans and persons with disabilities is not a project. It is a lifelong mission, rooted in justice, compassion, and humanity.

Having witnessed the deep pain of abandoned individuals, especially disabled youth and orphans who silently yearn for companionship but are often ridiculed or ignored by society, he made it his life's purpose to change that reality. Under his leadership, hundreds of couples who would have otherwise remained alone have found support, celebration, and belonging through marriage.

He does not just find a groom or bride. He finds families, dignity, and hope for those who believed no one would ever stand by them. From arranging matches to setting up mandaps, from providing wedding attire to helping couples start their lives with basic household items, he is personally involved in every detail.

These marriages are not mass-produced events. They are personal, respectful, culturally appropriate ceremonies tailored to each couple’s background. For someone with a physical or speech disability, for an orphaned girl with no family, for a man living in a shelter, Sri Anil Kumar becomes family. Not just on the wedding day, but for years to come.

Smt. N. Aruna: Quiet Strength and Silent Leadership

While Anil Kumar serves in the public eye, Smt. N. Aruna, co-founder and lifelong supporter of the foundation’s mission, brings silent strength and maternal warmth to every activity. She ensures that every bride is treated with respect, every dress is neatly folded, and every meal is served with care.

Her nurturing presence is especially important during our marriage events for women with disabilities or those without parents. She becomes a mother figure, ensuring that the brides feel loved, beautiful, and emotionally secure. She oversees women’s support programs and child-related activities, and often mentors young brides on how to face the world with confidence, no matter what challenges they may carry.

Behind Every Ceremony: A Family of Helpers

Amma Foundation’s team is not built with designations. It is built with hearts. Our volunteers include ordinary people doing extraordinary work.

Drivers who decorate mandaps with borrowed flowers.

Cooks who prepare wedding meals with love, as if for their own daughters.

Youth who give up their day’s wage to help set up venues.

Donors who bring new sarees, utensils, or symbolic mangalsutras because they believe every bride deserves to feel valued.

Former beneficiaries who now serve others, remembering how Amma Foundation once stood beside them.

These weddings are not just events. They are acts of community healing. When a disabled man ties the knot in front of a crowd that once mocked him, when an orphaned girl walks down the aisle with our team standing in for her parents, our volunteers do not just witness a marriage. They witness a miracle.

Why These Marriages Matter So Deeply

In many communities, orphans and the disabled are either ignored or outright rejected as potential spouses. They are seen as burdens, unfit, or unworthy of marriage. This stigma often leads to lifelong isolation, emotional suffering, and social rejection. Amma Foundation was created to fight this injustice not with words, but with action.

Every wedding we arrange breaks this stigma. It tells the world:

This person is not a burden.

This person is not incomplete.

This person deserves love, respect, and a life partner, just like anyone else.

We do not just support weddings. We restore identity, celebrate resilience, and create lifelong companionship for those who once believed love was not part of their future.

After the Wedding: A Lifelong Bond

Our work does not end after the wedding ceremony. We continue to stand by the couples we support. We offer essential items to begin their married life such as mats, vessels, clothes, and groceries. We provide guidance and emotional support as they adjust to their new roles. We help them find work, access healthcare, and sometimes even support them during childbirth and naming ceremonies.

Many couples return years later and say, "Because of you, we did not give up on life." These are the moments that remind our team why we do this work.

A Culture of Inclusion, Built by People Like You

Our team includes young people, professionals, homemakers, senior citizens, and students who bring time, energy, and heart to the cause. Every volunteer is encouraged to treat the people we serve not as charity cases, but as equals. They are respected, celebrated, and loved.

This is why volunteering with Amma Foundation is not just about doing social work. It is about becoming part of someone’s most important day. When you serve with us, you do not just help. You become part of someone’s new beginning.

Join Our Family

At Amma Foundation, we are not building offices or empires. We are building a community where no one is forgotten. Where orphans are remembered, where the disabled are uplifted, and where every marriage is a message to the world that love and dignity belong to everyone.

We are not just a team.

We are the parents who bless the bride.

We are the brothers who guide the groom.

We are the friends who prepare the meal.

We are the family that says, "You are not alone anymore."

This is Amma Foundation. This is our team. Serving humanity, one marriage at a time, with love, dignity, and family.
