The term "Tavaru mane" translates to "Mother's House" in Kannada, symbolizing the moral and emotional security, care, and support typically associated with a mother's nurturing. The organisation adopts this concept to underscore its commitment to providing support and care to the female beneficiaries, akin to what they would receive in their own mother's home. During the lockdown period, it extended assistance to marginalized women and girls facing challenging circumstances, offering essential needs such as shelter, basic food, clothing, and compassionate care. Additionally, it provided emotional support and counselling to these individuals, recognizing the importance of addressing their holistic well-being during difficult times.
