Twelve Years of Service.
One Vision. Thousands of Lives.
Engala Charitable Trust is a Hanamkonda-based non-profit that has spent the last twelve years answering one quiet question: why should geography decide destiny?
Our Story
The trust was not born in an office. It was born in a village.
In 2013, our founder Engala Venkatram Reddy looked at the villages around Hanamkonda and asked a simple question: why should geography decide destiny? Why should a child born forty kilometres from a city be born without water, healthcare, or a school bag?
He gathered a small group of friends, pulled together what resources he could, and dug a single borewell in a village called Atmakur. That borewell still runs today. It has outlived the people who blessed it. It is the reason this trust exists.
Twelve years later, we are still showing up. The villages have multiplied. The work has deepened. The team has grown. But the rule we started with has not changed: show up, listen first, and finish what you began.
Our Values
Four words we have lived by — through borewells, hospital corridors, exam halls and food queues.
Compassion
Every plate we serve, every borewell we dig, every fee we pay — begins with the belief that no village should be invisible to its own state.
Integrity
Every rupee that reaches us is tracked. Every project is documented. We answer to the donor, the village and our own conscience — in that order.
Community
We don't airlift solutions. We sit with villages, listen first, and let local masons, mothers and elders shape the work.
Action
We are not a brochure. When we say we will be in your village by Tuesday, we are. Twelve years of doing has earned us the right to keep doing.

The Founder
Engala Venkatram Reddy
Founder · Managing Trustee
Engala Sir is the heart of this trust. For more than twelve years, he has personally walked into villages most maps would struggle to find — listening to elders, sitting with patients, meeting students, and quietly putting down what was needed where it was needed.
He works the way he lives: with discipline, with strategy, and with an unwillingness to leave any project half-finished. The villages who have hosted him will tell you the same thing — he keeps his word.
More than anything, his belief is simple. Every human life deserves dignity. Every village deserves to be remembered. Twelve years on, the trust still operates by that one rule.
