CHILDREN CHARITY MISSION
All children deserve to live in safe, nurturing homes
where they can feel valued and loved.
We Fight Together
Snehasadan is a non-governmental organization that provides a Home and a future for homeless street children in Mumbai, India. Over the past 49 years Snehasadan has been providing shelter for over 40,000 children.
These homes have given them a chance to escape life on the streets, gain access to shelter, education and a future, and above all find a home and a family where before there was none.
“Without family nothing else matters, everything from the top to bottom falls apart or descends into chaos… the loss of home leaves a gap that can never be filled.”
– Family Matters by Rohinton Mistry
We Live Together
Almost half are self-employed, They sell flowers or other goods, work as rag pickers, at tea stalls, as porters and loaders, on catering assignments, as hawkers or other kinds of casual work. Most work long hours – 10 to 12 hours a day.
Their history is unique and as such the Snehasadan social workers treat each child on a case by case basis. When a new child arrives at a railway station, most of the permanent station dwellers will inform the new child about Snehasadan. Railway staff also work in conjunction with Snehasadan in providing information to and on vulnerable children.
Each center essentially is just a small room, as most of the staff time is spent in the field, working with individual children. Snehasadan employs trained social work staff. They work with the community to identify homeless children, work towards family repatriation, counselling and finding a foster home at Snehasadan if the homeless child does so choose.
