Impact:

The children's home is one such Project. This project makes positive impact in lives of more than 70 children throughout the year. The home admits children only who are destitute and abandoned.

The home is licensed but not funded by Government. The children who are admitted here are often malnourished and are in unhealthy condition. Some of these children are left on the streets of Mumbai or in hospitals by their guardians. The children receive admission at day 1 to 12 years in the children's home.

Children have the right to survive and be protected. The first six years of life, the formative years, are the most crucial stage of the child's growth and development. At Bal Asha Trust we endeavor to give children the best stimulation, nutrition, medical care, warmth, love and emotional security. Here children are well cared for by a team of child development and social workers, caretakers, nurses, doctors, psychologists, teachers, therapists, and volunteers. Children are grouped and cared for according to their age.
