Our Story
From Mandya's roots,a legacy of lifting lives.
St. Mary's Charitable Trust is a Christian organization dedicated to transforming lives through quality education and vocational training. From our campus beside the old post office on Guthalu Road, we have formed teachers, coached dreamers and equipped communities with skills for sustainable livelihoods — guided always by values of service and compassion.
"Let all that you do be done in love."
1 Corinthians 16:14
Leadership
Joy Magdaleena
Founder & Educational Counselor
"Every student who walks through our door carries a God-given potential. Our work is simply to help them see it — and then equip them to live it."
Under her counsel, the trust has grown from a single classroom into a centre for teacher education, language training and community empowerment — with personal mentorship at the heart of every batch.
