YASHODHARA HOME: A NEW STAGE


Since March of 2008, Asha-Kiran has been implementing the Yashodhara Shelter Home Project with dedication, love and commitment. In the last two years, we have taken in 21 children (13 girls and 8 boys) whom we see "bloom" every day as young people with rights and dignity, and who are part of our aspiration as a driving force.

Each of them has a personal story laden with intensity and hard times, but their life at Yashodhara is acting as a balm for them, and their future is filling up with opportunities and dreams thanks to the people who trust our work and support us.
A new stage in the development of Home will begin on June 15th.

Asha-Kiran
has rented a new building located in a natural setting, with capacity for 45 children. For us at Asha-Kiran, it is a source of immense satisfaction to feel that our daily efforts bear fruit in the children that they target, and we GROW WITH THEM through our devoted work and dedication.


The new building is part of the NGO Sevadham Campus Trust, where other NGOs with varied social projects also carry out their work. Thus, we will be part of a family of NGOs, each working in different realms.

This location is in the municipality of Kamshet, between Pune and Mumbai, and will allow the children of the Home to have large areas for play and recreation among trees, in safe surroundings. The campus also has its own hospital, and is within walking distance of the village where the children will attend school.

In the last few weeks, the building has been refurbished, and we are carefully screening new applications of children in need of foster care. We have set ourselves the goal of admitting 10 new children this year. These new admissions will constitute renewed impulse for the work of Asha-Kiran.

Thank you for supporting this dream come true.
