Help Col Mickie Uberoi (retd) save orphaned and abandoned girl children from life on the streets

"Ghar is a very unique institution. I never conceived it to be an orphanage but a home", says Colonel Mickie Uberoi (retd), the founder of Ghar and a celebrated army veteran. What lies at the core of this selfless war hero’s dream is a belief that every child deserves not just a shelter, but a family. Ghar isn't merely an institution; it's a haven where parentless and abandoned girls find refuge and love. Run by Col Uberoi’s NGO Sant Ishwar Foundation, Ghar has become a stepping stone for orphaned or abandoned girl children to dream about a bigger, brighter future.

Col Uberoi’s dream of giving the best possible future to these children depends on public support. Your contribution to the army veteran’s dream can transform countless lives. Give generously.

The torchbearers of change

In Col Uberoi's own words, "We feel our children should go on to become agents of change in society. They should impact and make a difference in the lives of others." It's this belief in the transformative power of education and nurturing that drives Ghar's mission forward.

Step into Ghar, and witness dreams taking flight. "Now when you ask our girls, they will all say, 'I want to become an army officer, I want to become an IAS officer. Someone wants to become a collector, someone says I want to be an air hostess or pilot,'" Col Uberoi proudly shares. It's a testament to the environment of aspiration cultivated within Ghar's walls.

Col Uberoi's journey to establish Ghar wasn't without its doubts. "When I was a 16-and-a-half-year or 17-year-old cadet in the National Defence Academy, even then I would say one day I will start an orphanage," he recalls. 

Reflecting on the harsh realities that children face, Col Uberoi remarks, "It is mostly small children that are abandoned. They are basically found on the roadside. The police find them. The child is begging, loitering, and staying alone." 

Why donate to this charity

"I am only a retired pensioner. Where the money would come from was always a big concern," he says. Yet, driven by a sense of duty and a desire to make a difference, Col Uberoi embarked on this journey.

In the face of such challenges, Ghar remains steadfast in its mission to provide love, care, and opportunity to every child who walks through its doors.

Join us in our mission to empower dreams, one child at a time. Together, we can rewrite the narrative of abandonment and despair into one of hope, love, and limitless possibility. Join hands with Ghar, and be the change you wish to see in the world.
