HOPE, SAVE, HELP — Samvedna campaign for the girl child Urgent · Dream project
Project “HOPE”

A home for women who have no one to care for them

Samvedna has a dream project, ‘HOPE’, of building a home for women who do not have their family, are neglected by their families or societies, and are dying without proper care and medical needs.

  • Shelter, support and medical care in old age
  • A platform to explore their own skills and expertise
  • Opportunities to become independent, with dignity and social acceptance

“Our little support can build a strong foundation of the home and raise the ray of ‘HOPE’.”
