What is Vatsalya Gram
- Home for orphaned children
- Home for destitute women
- Home for the lonely Granny
- A village of maternal affections
Vatsalya Gram is a unique alternative to orphanages and women's shelters. It is the only facility in the world where orphaned children and destitute women of all ages are given homes so they may live like families and form everlasting bonds as parents and siblings. Vatsalya families live in an atmosphere of affection and are nurtured in a secure environment without any distinction of caste, creed or race. The project is managed by dedicated and trained professionals.
Each Vatsalya family consists of seven children, a mother, an aunt (Mausi) and a granny (Nanni) living in the familiar atmosphere of their own home. The women are carefully trained for their role in dealing with up to seven children per home. This arrangement encourages bonding within the family and gives the children a sense of belonging, both essential factors in the child's early development. Although there is no blood relationship in this Vatsalya family, all members of the family are connected by an emotional bond of love and trust.
Our Objectives
- Provide a loving mother's lap for the children and give them the skills and support they need to reach their full potential.
- Create homes and families for the destitute women who will nurture and shower motherly love and build emotional bonds with the children entrusted to their care. At Vatsalya Gram, these women now have a secure home, a life's purpose and an opportunity to claim a family of their very own!
- Match the children with appropriate mothers thus eliminating the need for an orphanage or a home for destitute women.
- Establish and maintain schools for the Vatsalya Gram community.
- Provide vocational training to the tribal women so they may resettle in own respective areas and lead development programs that may benefit their local communities.
