About CHIME
Empowering Children, Restoring Smile
CHIME is more than just a charitable trust—it’s a lifeline for children born with congenital heart disease. Established by MIOT International in 2007, CHIME is dedicated to providing life-saving surgeries for children from underprivileged families who cannot afford critical medical treatments. With a focus on congenital heart disease, CHIME has been making a significant impact, offering these children a chance to lead healthier, fuller lives.
In collaboration with the MIOT Centre for Children’s Cardiac Care, CHIME organises free medical camps throughout Tamil Nadu. These camps not only provide essential medical care but also bring hope to families who may feel overwhelmed by their child’s condition. Through these efforts, CHIME reassures parents, offering them the belief that their child's condition is treatable and that financial concerns should not stand in the way of life-saving treatment.
Over the past 17 years, CHIME has helped over 1,300 children, restoring their health and their future. This success is made possible by the generosity of patrons and volunteers, whose support has been instrumental in creating a brighter, healthier future for these children. Each story of healing represents more than just a medical procedure; it’s the revival of a child’s smile and a family’s hope for tomorrow.
Chairman’s Message
CHIME stands as a beacon of hope for children from lower-income families in dire need of medical treatment. In countries like India, where healthcare resources are scarce within communities, CHIME’s intervention represents a vital ray of hope. Our dedication to supporting families who cannot afford essential medical care for their children has brought immense joy and relief to the entire family, as reflected in their heartwarming smiles. This ripple of positivity resonates deeply within our mission.
I am honoured to acknowledge the generosity of various well-wishers and philanthropists who support CHIME. Your contributions enable us to fulfil our mission of providing surgeries and essential treatment to these deserving children. Together, we are making a tangible difference in their lives, bringing hope and healing where it is needed most. Thank you for being a crucial part of our journey towards creating a healthier and brighter future for these children.
