We proudly support the well-being of orphaned children and vulnerable women, guided by our motto “From the Cradle to the Grave.” Girl children are empowered through adoption, education, vocational training, job placement, and marriages. We operate a students’ hostel, a working women’s hostel, and an old-age home — all aligned with our hopeful mission.

Appeal

We’re excited to put our donors’ support to work immediately, funding impactful programs for our Ashram residents and, especially, our cherished Grandmas. Our 2026 goal is to upgrade the Vasai West Old-Age Home to offer contemporary facilities and higher occupancy, ensuring comfort, dignity, and all-around well-being.

With over 160 beneficiaries at any given time, we allocate funds to:
- Cover medical care and bedside facilities for our Grannies
- Provide uniforms and study materials where applicable, and support ongoing learning through in-house teachers and teaching aids (including computer systems)
- Support vocational training and skill development to enhance quality of life and independence
- Fund on-site and off-site activities that foster community, social engagement, and joy

We also oversee repairs and maintenance of the estate and properties, and invest in enhanced security with CCTV and reliable internet services. Your generosity fuels our sustained, meaningful impact on our seniors’ lives.
