The Good Samaritan Rehabilitation and Training Centre (GSRTC) is a pioneering initiative of Samaritan Trust (Reg. No. 99/IV/17), established in 2017 as the social and charitable wing of the CST Fathers of the St. Thomas Province, Kozhikode. Located in Thalavil, Kannur, Kerala, GSRTC provides fully subsidized rehabilitation, skill training, and employment support for paraplegics, accident survivors, and persons with disabilities.
Inspired by the values “Be little and serve the little,” “Do not grow weary in doing good,” and “Go and do likewise,” the Centre combines compassionate care with professional rehabilitation services. Through holistic programs and barrier-free facilities, GSRTC strives to restore dignity, independence, and hope, enabling individuals to rebuild their lives and reintegrate into society with confidence.
"Disability is not inability when compassion opens the door to possibility."

Our Legacy
Though functioning within a secular framework, the values of Samaritan Trust draw inspiration from a legacy of humility and service. Its founding principles are rooted in a deep commitment to "serving the least, the lost, and the left out" with professional excellence and human kindness.
Our Genesis :
Born from Compassion, Built for Hope
In the course of our palliative home care visits, we kept encountering the same heart breaking reality - young accident victims, paraplegics, and stroke survivors lying helpless in poor households, with no access to therapy, equipment, or even basic care.
Moved by their silent suffering, Samaritan Trust launched the Good Samaritan Rehabilitation & Training Centre (GSRTC) in 2024, as a first-of-its-kind initiative in our state - a place where the poor and forgotten can begin again.
Here, care is free, dignity is restored, and lives are rebuilt - step by step, with love.
The best way to find yourself is to lose yourself in the service of others.
Mahatma Gandhi
Every act of giving becomes a bridge to dignity and hope.
