The Sylvia Wright Trust is a registered charity which supports the work of Sylvia Wright in the Indian State of Tamil Nadu. Sylvia sold her home and possessions in Leeds 28 years ago to work relentlessly and courageously among the sick and disabled in this very poor area of India.
Over the years, Sylvia has built and established a modern hospital, a school for deaf children, two centres for severely disabled children as well as running many vital community health projects.
The Trust, which is based in Leeds, comprises enthusiastic and committed volunteers who raise funds to support this work.
Sylvia is pictured below surrounded by some of the profoundly deaf children to whom she has dedicated her life. Her inspiring vision has changed the lives of thousands of sick and disabled people in the very poor southern state of Tamil Nadu. Your support for Sylvias wonderful work is invited. Please let us know if you would like more information by clicking on the ‘Contact’ link at the top of this page or to make a donation please click on ‘Donations’. Thank you.
