As you know Snehalaya meaning the Home with Love in Hindi, a project of Gwalior Childrens Charity of UK (formerly known as Gwalior Childrens Hospital Charity having started as a Childrens Hospital in 1998 but has grown into Snehalaya since with much more than only Childrens Hospital, hence the change of name too) in association with 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 in a pollution free environment as a family 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 started in July 2011 with 77 children, mostly girls from surrounding villages. The girls are provided every thing for free as well an incentive of Rs.10 per day for attending the school. We are hoping that the number of children will increase to nearly 200 by July this year.
We work for intigrated 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 as well advise for income generation. 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 kerosine use otherwise. Please visit us and see for yourself.
