Bhavada Devi Memorial Philanthropic Trust

Bhavada Devi Memorial Philanthropic Trust, SENEH is working for the most under privileged and deprived section of society, mainly women. The main acti Read morevity of ‘Seneh’ is running a home for Destitute old Women at Guwahati. The residents of Seneh were mostly pavement dwellers who had no Shelter, Means of Sustenance or anyone to care for. The women had myriads of ailments some physical, others both mental and physical. The intensity of their sufferings in the past can be understood from the fact that in case of four out of 27 residents , but for seneh’s intervention, they would have probably died in a few hours. Nine were picked up from the streets in complete mental deranged conditions, treated as in patient in local psychiatric hospital for varying periods. Now they are cured and are leading somewhat normal lives with of course regular psychiatric medication. The residents of Seneh are given shelter, food, complete medical care, clothing, means of entertainment, all absolutely free.
