The MaChaNi group, a group of friends from Seattle, has been spreading holiday cheer through Christmas caroling since 2014 with a mission to support projects for children in Kerala. Despite the harsh winter weather, the team visits over 50 homes in the Seattle area, performing festive songs and a lively Santa dance. Their fundraising efforts have resulted in significant support for kids surgeries, sponsorships for children with special needs, aid for families with serious illnesses such as cancer, and monthly rice kits for families unable to work due to their children's medical treatments.

MaChaNi has also made a tangible impact through the construction of two rooms at the Solace respite center in Thrissur, providing a clean and hygienic environment for kids undergoing treatments like chemotherapy. In 2017, the group provided a vehicle for the Solace home care team, and in 2018, they purchased land and built a 650 sq ft home for a single mother and her children, including one with cancer. Another home was built in 2019 for an elderly widow living in substandard conditions. Part of the funds from that year were also used to sponsor a classroom at Chaithanya special school in Palakkad. In 2020, $10,000 was allocated towards procuring life-saving medical equipment for COVID patients. This is just a snapshot of the ongoing efforts of the MaChaNi group to make a difference in the lives of those in need.
