Veliyamcode in Neyyattinkara Diocese lies 26km away from Thiruvananthapuram railway station, and its people lacked education and economic opportunities. Impressed by the charism of SHM, Bishop Vincent Samuel requested the congregation to come to the aid of these people. The centre was built and inaugurated on 27 March 2008.

​

The thrust of the centre’s work is to support the Nadar community in their social and economic development. The sisters organise skills training for women and girls, coaching classes for children, and livelihood projects for destitute women. In 2014 a home for elderly persons was initiated and registered under the Kerala Government Orphanage Board of Control.​
