Providing Hope and a Bright Future for Orphan, Abandoned and Vulnerable Girls

At GHAR we provide our girls a loving and caring environment, good education, healthy nutrition, good healthcare and security and all that it takes to ensure their overall growth and development into successful, compassionate and conscientious human beings. GHAR takes care of the emotional needs of girls in need of care and protection and provides them with good education and all other facilities that are essential to make them realise their full potential in academics, sports, arts and culture and to become capable to participate and compete in all activities.

Girls of the age of 6-18 years who are in need of care and protection are taken care of by us. These include orphans who have no one to look after them, abandoned children, children of sex workers who are vulnerable, children of single parents who are unfit and incapacitated to care for and protect their children, abused children and the like. Such children are produced before the Child Welfare Committee, a statutory body, and after due investigations they are admitted to our Child Care Institution.

GHAR is about giving our girls meaningful, purposeful and fulfilling lives and them learning how to use that to make an impact and a difference in the lives of others. We envisage that they will carry the message of humanity, empathy and goodness to their respective worlds and impact people’s lives in times to come.

Providing the Gift of Education to Underprivileged Children

All girls are educated in English medium schools except some older girls for whom the transition to English is difficult at their age. In view of their underprivileged backgrounds, many girls have had no earlier schooling. In GHAR our teachers provide extensive in-house tuitions to our girls in our classroom named Pathshala.

Classes in English are also conducted to make them versant with the language. Activities, including yoga, sports, vocal and instrumental music lessons, art and craftwork are regularly conducted. Girls are encouraged to participate in school programs. Educational excursions are periodically undertaken. Educational scholarships to needy children are also provided.

Sant Ishwar Foundation also supports the education of marginalised non-resident children and conducts awareness campaigns and workshops on child protection and on aspects of humanity.

The Child Care Institution comprises of four spacious dormitories, a kitchen and pantry, a dining room, well-furnished bathrooms and toilets and a play area for children with playground equipment. Two large halls house a classroom and an activity cum computer room and library.

Girls are provided a well balanced healthy and nutritious diet. All festivals and National events are celebrated with fervour. Workshops on safe and unsafe touch, cartoons, calligraphy, making lamps and motivational classes are also conducted periodically.
