Constant Care
Homes

At the bottom, are the children
most vulnerable and at risk of abuse.

These are the children who live on the streets, under bridges and beside railway stations. Some are orphans. Some are driven from their homes. Some have run away from an abusive parent or step-parent. Some others, confined to the walls of their home, forced into labour, sexual abuse or even prostitution. Alone, these children do not have the divine right to a happy childhood with access to care, food and education.

Your help provides these children safe and happy childhoods. Your efforts to raise funds and support the work on the ground help to give these children homes. In the Homes, children grow up in a safe and caring environment, sometimes for the first time in their young lives. Here they receive nutritious meals and learn about hygiene. Regular health check-ups ensure they receive their vaccinations and medical issues are addressed.

Every child in the Homes attends school. Some who have attended schools before, continue at a nearby public school. Other children, who have never attended school or who have dropped out of the system for years, go to non-formal schools until they are ready to take the public exams.

A typical day in the homes begins with the children waking up in the morning. A good breakfast later, they are on their way to school. They return in the evening and rest. Evenings are spent with outdoor activities like gardening and games. The children also receive extra coaching classes followed by supper and bedtime.

Our children love visitors who come to spend time with them. Please contact one of the house managers to schedule a visit.

Current urgent needs in our homes and projects

OUR Homes

PROJECT RENA

One of Mumbai's red light districts, Badlapur, has been transformed into Rena Home by El Shaddai Charitable Trust. Every child deserves a life of dignity. Many children face hardships due to their parents' involvement in prostitution or being orphaned and living on the streets. Children in such areas are vulnerable to harm. To address this, on August 2, 2022, we established Rena Home, a shelter for 25 at-risk children. Our aim at El Shaddai is to remove these children from the red-light environment and provide them with a secure, nurturing space for their well-being and development.

Rainbow House

A Sign of Promise

Andreas Toscano, a farmer from Germany had seen the plight of the underprivileged girl children in India during a visit in 1999-2000. He was moved to set up a home for the girls to give them a brighter future. He mortgaged his farm and bought a house for El Shaddai to set up a home for girls. Thanks to Mr Toscano’s compassion, Rainbow House, situated in Assagao, is today a safe haven for roughly 34 girls, aged between 8 – 16 years old.

Victory House

Our first Home for children

Victory House was where it all started for El Shaddai in 1997, when we rented a house in Vagator, Goa. Victory House was inaugurated by our first patron Duncan Watkinson. In 2000, we bought a run-down house in Saligao, renovated it and shifted Victory House to the new premises. Today it is home to roughly 44 children between the age of 8-12 years.
