About Us

Welcome to Mikkael Foundation

The inspiration behind the name “Mikkael”

It is essential to say how the character “MIKKAEL” inspires everyone around us.

Dr.Rumia’s, father Late Mr Mikkael Raj was born at the Small Village of Chithambarapuram in Sattankulam. He did his Schooling at Ittamozhi with great difficulties. Mikkael Raj wanted to help his father and to improve the awful condition of farming in his native village. With this purpose in mind, he completed B.Sc (Agri), joined Government service and worked as Agricultural Officer in various districts of Tamil Nadu, India.

During his tenure, he used to help the poor, the aged, the differently-abled and the poor farmers as far as he could. Mikkael was against corruption, casteism, untouchability and religion with revolutionary thoughts. He was named for his love towards his six siblings. Unfortunately, Mr.Mikkael met with a road accident on 20-08-1990 and breathed his last.

Mrs.BasilSusheela, who saw her husband as a leader, gave life to Mikkael’s dreams of making their children as agents of social change. Today their children, Rua, Rousseau and Rumia all took up their career roles in fields named Law &Judiciary, Dentistry and Social Work respectively.

Message from Founders

We desire to help those in our society to live a fuller life.

When I lost my father Mikkealraj, I was given many opportunities by society to advance in my education and career, and to develop as a person. As I reflect on the magnitude of how much I received in my past; it made me long to give something in return to the society that had played a crucial role in my own growth and development.

Mikkael Foundation was created, when my dear husband, Justine AntoPrasanna also realised the importance of this goal. Since 2013, we have been providing our services to those in need.

We want to inspire the present people of this generation and the community to take responsibility for the underprivileged among us and help us in this mission to give them the better life that they deserve.

Testimonials

My daughter was not doing good in her studies. She was upset and angry most of the time due to poor performance in school. With the grace of GOD, we met a leading Clinical Psychologist, who recommended Anxiety Management Therapy under minimal medication. With the effective counselling sessions of Dr. Rumia, the condition of my daughter improved and she scored 80 % marks in her 12th standard. We are very happy to recommend Dr. Rumia”

There was a time I felt hopeless with the mental struggles my son was facing, however, Dr. Rumia helped my son to overcome these problems. My son has ADHD, which includes many emotional outbursts and frustrations, among other traits. In only a few sessions, I was able to see a difference in his mood. His ability to face the obstacles that come his way, using the skills she has provided, has helped him to react more calmly and gain more self-confidence. I am sincerely grateful for all she has done for my son, and as a result, for our family
