Paradise Home is a non-profit organization providing life-long, safe, and loving environment for intellectually challenged individuals who have nowhe Read morere else to turn to. Mrs Mallika Gopal, physically handicapped from a young age, witnessed that Intellectually challenged lives had many problems with their daily lives, chores and founded Paradise home with the goal of providing a loving and safe space for these special lives, enabling them to live with dignity and help them on the journey to become self-sufficient. Unlike other institutions in Chennai that send children back to their parents when they reach 15 years of age, we provide care for our children throughout their lives, ensuring their future remains secure. At Paradise Home, we admit children without discrimination based on their age, caste, creed, or financial status. Our humble beginnings started in a rented building in Madipakkam with just a couple of children
