Impact
Sneha Bhavan wields the potential to create a profound and lasting impact on society through its multifaceted activities. By providing shelter, care, and education to underprivileged children, the organization can reshape the trajectory of young lives, breaking the cycle of poverty and offering a chance for a brighter future. This has the potential to contribute to a more educated and empowered generation, capable of becoming active participants in the community and the broader society. The Drug Rehabilitation Education And Mentoring (DREAM) program, aimed at combating substance abuse, has the capacity to not only rescue individuals from the clutches of addiction but also to mend families and reintegrate individuals as productive members of society. The ripple effect of recovery could extend beyond the individual, positively influencing their families and the community at large, reducing the social and economic toll of addiction. Through its dedication to migrant youth, Sneha Bhavan can facilitate the transformation of individuals who might otherwise remain marginalized due to a lack of support and opportunities. By providing education, guidance, and a sense of belonging, the organization could potentially equip these individuals with the tools to contribute to society in meaningful ways, unlocking latent potential and diversifying the workforce. The empowerment of girls through Valsalya Bhavan and Valsalya Bhavan Annexe fosters gender equality and empowers young women to become leaders and changemakers in their own right. This can lead to a more inclusive and balanced society, where opportunities are extended to all, irrespective of gender, and where the contributions of women are acknowledged and valued.
Vision and Mission
The vision is to empower children and youth at risk to create a child-friendly society. The mission is to reach out to street children and youth at risk, rescue them, heal them, support them towards a new life, and reintegrate them into mainstream society.
