We believe that people who are dismissed as paagol can recover and live normal lives.

We rescue the mentally ill and give them a home. We rescue them from railway stations or the streets, treat them, care for them and eventually send them home. In some cases, since they cannot remember where they have come from, they continue to stay with us.

We have a full-time psychiatrist in attendance, helping patients recover.

We provide a loving home for 70 residents.

Why trust us?We started with space for 20; we now have a home and outdoor clinic for 70 (including 10 women). We have three doctors; attending to around 400 patients every month.

We employ a professional chartered accountant. All contributions are exempt Under Section 80(G) of the Income Tax Act.
