Old Age Rehabilitation: Rehabilitate & Empower: Give Nagpur’s Homeless Elderly a Life of Dignity

Transform Lives: Help Rehabilitate and Empower Nagpur's Homeless Beggars

Join us in transforming lives through the Astha Rehabilitation Shelter for Beggars and the Homeless, a project by the Sahyadri Foundation in Nagpur, India. Launched in April 2022, this initiative is making significant strides toward creating a beggar-free Nagpur by providing dignity and opportunity to those who need it most. Over the next two years, 1601 individuals will be equipped with the skills, training, and healthcare necessary to become self-reliant. These individuals, often trapped in cycles of poverty and homelessness, will receive full-day meals, medical care, counseling, and employment support—all while being sheltered in a safe, nurturing environment. With your help, we can give them not just shelter, but a second chance at life. Your support will directly fund life-changing interventions that pave the way for them to re-enter society with dignity and hope. Every donation brings us closer to creating a city where no one is left behind. Together, we can make Nagpur a model of compassion and empowerment.
