Overview
Sahaara’s “Mahima Children’s Home” is a shelter for parentless children and children whose parents are unable to look after them. The Home was started in July 1999 with only a couple of children.
The Basics
Easy, helpless victims of abuse and bad influences, these destitute children were desperately in need of a family. The Home was started with the aim of providing shelter to these homeless and desolate children, including street children and neglected slum children.
How It Works
• The home is a haven for quite a few boys, all of whom are either orphans or with terminally ill parents or children of trafficked women unable to care for them.
• Mahima provides these children with more than just their basic needs.
• Holistic rehabilitation is provided to fourteen children through a home environment with dedicated care-givers.
• At Mahima, they believe that this is just the beginning.
• In a family atmosphere, these boys are nurtured and raised to believe in a dream that was once far away, but now within their grasp! And each child has a bigger dream.
Statistics
• 2 – Number of children who were there when the Home was started
• 14 – Number of children living in the Home at present
