Vasantham is a well-known organization in the Greater Toronto Area, we have been in service since 1999. We are dedicated to providing the community with quality and evidence-based services.

Our partners include Canadian Red Cross, Ryerson University, CAMH, New Horizons for Seniors, Canadian Tamil Medical Association, and more. In addition, our expertise and experience with serving clients have given us the required knowledge to successfully execute our program and services.
