We have a dedicated staff of 24 young women and men who make all the difference to this place. A doctor visits us once a fortnight and is on call anytime.

How it's done

We run this place entirely on public charity with no government subsidy whatever. We recycle everything here and convert waste into energy

Our Mission

Our mission

Our mission is to give human dignity to those who otherwise die on the pavements, in bus stations , railway stations and other public places, abandoned by family and friends, and left to die like animals without any human dignity .

Our intention

Our intention is to give unsolicited love and care for those neglected by family and friends and thrown on the dust heap of our society by giving them a protected accommodation, a soft bed to lie on, with basic medicine, with a proper bath and clean cloth and three square meals every day.

Our Work

In last five years, more than 4,200 people have been healed and restored and have gone back to their places of choice. To date 1179 people have died in peace.

We welcome sponsors who can contribute however small an amount towards this..

What We Do

Life here

The co existance of about 75 mentally ill people along with the predominant number of dying destitute is somethig unique about this place

Once a patient dies
