About NGO:

"Snehalaya, a project of Gwalior Hospital and education Charitable Trust of India, is an Unique place for community living in India, generally considered as an Orphanage (we prefer to call it a care home rather) for disabled and destitute children, homeless women and the aged with a school (Special need as well main stream school) and health centre on site. It has all facilities for education and health care for children living there happily as a family in a pollution free environment, as well that for Naturo-therapy, Yoga, Meditation, Physiotherapy, multi-sensory room, Hydrotherapy spread out in area of 25 Acres of land with its own Gardens, Orchards, farms, play and Sports fields and much more. There is a cow shed (Gaushala) too with a herd of 16 animals as well a bird house. There are 64 children there at present and we aim to accommodate 200 children when completed. Our main stream school esp. for drop out girls from surrounding villages, started in July 2011 with 77 children. The girls are provided every thing free including education, books, uniforms, transport as well an incentive of Rs.10 per day for attending school and complete their school education. The number of children has increased to more than 200 in this session starting in July/Aug. 2012.

We work for integrated development in surrounding villages and slums there including hygiene, sanitation, vaccination, safe drinking water, nutrition, maternal & child care, health education, awareness and treatment on their door steps. For non availability of electricity in villages, we distribute solar lights to school going children in villages to facilitate their education which also benefit their families by helping to decrease pollution, accidents and hazards due to kerosene use otherwise.

Fund Usage:

"We use 100% of funds for the work only as per wishes of the donor/sponsor.

We need help to provide for the children of Snehalaya and its maintainance as well for planned expansion to make it a facility for 200 disabled and destitute children. Also for the cow shed (Gaushala) there. There are 64 children there at present and we aim to accommodate 200 children when completed.

We need money to educate girls from villages which in turn will help with women empowerment and whole family for future generations too. Our main stream school started esp. to educate drop out girls from surrounding villages has more than 200 children mostly girls undergoing education there.

We need support for the ongoing integrated development in surrounding villages and slums as well for distribution of solar lights to school going children in villages to facilitate their education, which also benefit their families by helping to decrease pollution, accidents and hazards due to kerosene use otherwise.
