We have been successfully conducting this program by providing relief to different kinds of destitute girls from the last 17 years. The main object of this project is to ensure safety, protection & rehabilitation of any child who is in need of these kinds of care.
Project is implemented under the MINISTRY OF WOMEN AND CHILD DEVELOPMENT, Govt. of MAHARASHTRA. We have been running 3 child care units (Balgruha) since June 2004. A total of more than 451 girls in these homes are looked after by our dedicated staff. Age group for this project is 6-18 years. Besides providing basic needs like food, shelter, clothes, medical care, the girls are given education, recreation, counseling and opportunities for developing their hidden talents. They not only prosper in academics but in extra-curricular activities also. They have excelled in sports, arts, songs & dance. Many of them have been recruited in Maharashtra Police also.
The Swadhar Greh Scheme purports to address the specific vulnerability of each of group of women in difficult circumstances through a home- based holistic and integrated approach.
The Scheme is for those women who are in difficult circumstances like widows, destitute and deserted women, women ex-prisoners, victims of sexual abuse, domestic violence and crimes, including those trafficked and rescued from brothels, migrant or refugee women who have been rendered homeless due to natural calamities like flood, cyclone, earthquake, mentally challenged women, women victims of terrorist violence etc. We assure shelter, food, clothing and health as well as economic and social security for such women.
