FOUNDED BY REV. FR ANTHONY ELENJIMITTAM IN 1957, Welfare Society or Destitute Children, locally known as St Catherine of Siena Orphanage, is a home for underprivileged and destitute children. We provide residential and rehabilitation facility for 45 girls and 30 boys as per government rules at the Bandra center. We aim to provide a happy and safe place for the children in our care and empower them through education and rehabilitation-based projects. The various projects we are running in our orphanage, help to save children from child labour, exploitation, abuse and child marriage, thereby changing the lives of many disadvantaged young people and their families. We support the children till the age of 22 years. Currently we are supporting another 110 girls for academic and professional courses through our dedicated projects i.e. Age 22 and Jo 20+.The Happy Home Project provides a creative healing space for every parent that has experienced trauma in the home or street. It aims to empower them by giving them life skill training and helping them find job opportunities. This project through we are providing home deposit, medical support, and ration.
