Global Chairman's Message
Dear Members and Friends,
As the Global Chairman of the World Malayalee Federation (WMF), it is both an honor and a privilege to connect with you through this platform. Our organization, guided by a comprehensive set of bylaws, serves as a beacon of hope and a powerful testament to the strength of collective action.
Throughout our journey, we have united in support and cooperation during times of crisis, such as natural disasters, the COVID-19 pandemic, and the ongoing crises in Ukraine and Sudan.
We are a registered organization under NORKA, the Government of Kerala, which underscores our commitment to effective and responsible service.
Through our twenty global forums, we engage in various sectors, including Pravasi Welfare, Women’s Forum, Arts & Culture, Sports, Agriculture, and Environment. Our mission extends beyond serving Malayalees & Indians ; we aim to contribute positively to the communities and countries where our members reside also .
In these challenging times, the spirit of volunteerism is more important than ever.
Each of you play a vital role in advancing our mission.
Your dedication and passion inspire us all to push boundaries and achieve new heights.
Whether you are a long-standing member or just joining our ranks, your contributions are invaluable.
I invite you to explore our website, engage with our initiatives, and discover how you can get involved. Together, let us work hand in hand, united by our shared vision of a better world for all.
Thank you for your unwavering support and commitment. Together, we can create a better World for All.
