Openheart Social Organisation & Charitable Trust was born from compassion in the wake of tragedy. The devastating 2004 Indian Ocean tsunami, which struck coastal Andhra Pradesh—especially Manginapudi (Machilipatnam) and Singaraikonda (Prakasam district)—deeply moved Mr. Nandakishore Raasamsetty and his family. Their voluntary efforts in providing food, shelter, and medical relief to victims ignited a lifelong commitment to humanitarian service.

Five years later, when Cyclone Laila (2009) ravaged the East Coast, leaving thousands homeless, the couple once again led rehabilitation efforts, offering aid to those who had lost everything. These experiences shaped the vision to create a platform dedicated to sustained social welfare.

On August 19, 2010, that vision became reality with the founding of Openheart Trust, an organisation committed to helping the poor, vulnerable, and disaster-affected, and to empowering communities with dignity, hope, and resilience.
