Mission Statement
To help and provide for poor, disabled, destitute and underpriviledged people esp. children, women and the aged, the most vulnerable ones, of Gwalior and Chambal region, one of the most backward and oppressed areas in Central India.
The charity operates in association with Gwalior Health and Education Society, Snehalaya and Gwalior Hospital and Education Charitable Trust. Ours is not just a Childrens hospital but includes a hospital for children and women, a general hospital, eye centre, physiotherapy centre, dental centre, help line and ICTC, hospice for children with HIV, mobile hospital, rural health centres, schools and orphanages. We support hospitals, rural clinics, schools and Orphanages including our own "Snehalaya", meaning "the home with love" in Hindi. Shenalaya is a care home for disabled children, homeless women and the aged, where they live together as a family with aims to help make them independent and live with dignity.
The complex includes a school for special needs, multi-sensory room, vocational training and health centre. The total establishment is spread out in an area of 15 acres with its own gardens, farms, Gaushala (cow-shelter) and facilities for yoga & meditation. We were able to add a 30 bedded primary and emergency care rural hospital within Snehalaya Campus on 23rd Aug. 07, the anniversary day of Snehalaya. On 1st Dec. 07, the World AIDS Day, we have launched Gwalior network for positive people as a support group for HIV victims, there is also a help line available 24 hours a day and an integrated counselling and treatment centre (ICTC), with 450 experts in different fields all over the world.
Our next target is to build an integrated school with vocational training for 1000 children including those in Snehalaya as well from surrounding villages on site within Snehalaya complex. A special focus will be girls who currently remain un-educated. Construction of five more cottages to accommodate 40 more children is in progress expected to be completed soon.
So far we have been working towards health and education. Now with the opening of Snehalaya, we are beginning integrated rural development work, which will achieve sustainable development in villages surrounding Snehalaya in all areas including hygiene, health, sanitation, education and vocational and industrial training with employment opportunities in the local villages. We would appreciate any help from any source to achieve these goals and advance these efforts.
