Mission No child homeless

Impact

"Surabhi (name changed) lives in a Childcare Institution (CCI) in a village in Maharashtra. She is 14 years old. Her parents are farmers and have an unstable income. As they find it hard to provide for her, she lives in the Childcare Institution. The institution has enrolled Surabhi in school. This makes Surabhi the first generation in her family who is able to get an education. The CCI fulfills her basic needs. However, Surabhi had little wishes that any normal young child has.Her little wishes were a new pair of clothes for a festival and a pair of shoes. But, with the limited support that the CCI had, these had to remain unfulfilled.CSA then decided to fulfill the wishes of the children in the CCI. Surabhi received a pair of denim jeans and tee shirts. Surabhi was overjoyed at this gift. She then confessed to the caretakers that she secretly dreamt of wearing western outfits. She had never spoken to anyone about this as it seemed like a far-fetched dream that would never come true. The new clothes were sheer joy and surprise on the innocent faces of the children. She was thrilled, and her confidence grew with a small gift like new clothes.Like Surabhi, many other children at rural CCIs are eagerly waiting to receive their first sets of new clothes and footwear. These will go a long way in building their self-esteem and confidence!**You can also help poor children like Surabhi with gifts like clothes and footwear that they crave for.

About The NGO

The mission of the organisation is to provide homeless, abandoned children with the basics of life - a home, education, love and affection, and above all, an existence with dignity. Saikripa is essentially the brainchild of Anjina Rajagopal. She had always nurtured the desire to work with poor children. Anjina Rajagopal was touched during her younger days by the plight of the orphans soliciting alms on the streets. This pushed her to come into the social work space, full-time, leaving behind a lucrative livelihood. In 1989, Sai Kripa was registered. In 2017, Ms. Anjina Rajagopal was awarded the Laasya Awards by the SUBH Power Collage Consultants Award for Women of Exceptional Background.In 1988, Saikripa was like a baby lost in the woods - because nobody took Anjina and her brainchild Saikripa seriously. But slowly people started joining hands with Saikripa and a strong bond was formed. On 27th February 1990 BAL KUTIR formally opened its doors to children at F-44, Sector-20. It started with one child but now it has grown into a large family of children who are as happy and intelligent as any child who has his own family. Apart from this, 11 children have taken up jobs and are living independently,3 three girls have been married off and more than 75 children have been restored to their families with the cooperation of the police and the public. BAL KUTIR was set up not only to provide shelter and the basic needs of children, but also Home to provide them with love and affection.
