Philanthropic work

Mammootty is involved in more than half a dozen philanthropic projects aimed at helping needy people.[45]

Mammootty is the patron of the Pain and Palliative Care Society,[46] a charitable organization in Kerala formed with the aim of improving the quality of life among patients with advanced cancer. He has been the fuel and the engine[peacock prose] of the Pain and Palliative Care Centre situated in Kozhikode, India.[47] Mammootty has now put forth a novel project to provide the pain and palliative care to those suffering from cancer throughout Kerala.[48]

During Onam 2007, Mammootty donated food items among thousand families in Parathodu near Kanjirappally in Kottayam district, a Kerala village which was hit by Chikungunya. The village which was worst hit by the disease claimed the most lives in the state.[51] In a press conference Mammootty explained his motives for doing this:

I decided to do this because the village has lost the maximum number of people to chikunguniya in the state this year. And this is not a publicity event and I would not be going there to distribute it either. This is done to see that others also come to extend a helping hand to those who are suffering.

Akshaya, the information technology dissemination project of the Government of Kerala, has Mammootty as its Goodwill Ambassador.[52][53] He formally took over the role on 26 February 2006 at a video networked programme which was linked to all the district headquarters of the state.[17] Mammootty spearheaded the campaign by appearing in print and visual media advertisements and other publicity materials that sent the message of the Akshaya project to the grassroots. He explained:

I am really happy to be associated with this unique project that promises to ring in wholesome change to the perceptions about Kerala as it seeks to make its presence felt in the digital era... If we manage to reach the benefits of information technology to the entire population, we would be able to raise ourselves to the levels of a developed society. I understand that the Akshaya project has been launched with this objective. I am sure this unique project will go to make the State a fully empowered knowledge society.[54]

Mammootty is a patron of "Share International Foundation", a charity organisation working towards removing the inequalities in society. The foundation has done many notable humanitarian works including the recent "Hridaya Sparsham project of the Care", to mobilise help for the heart surgery of children. Mammootty's plea over the social networking sites evoked aid worth about 1 crore within a day.[55] He quoted:

There are many pressing demands on your time and money; however, I strongly believe that Hridaya Sparsham is a worthy cause. It is an opportunity to give back to the world, which has given us so much. More importantly, it is an opportunity to give a child the one thing that no one should take away from him; his life.[55]
