Jeevan Aanand Sanstha

The Shwas Bal Raksha Project, initiated by Jeevan Aanand Sanstha, supports economically disadvantaged children with congenital heart diseases. Operating for the past year, the project has successfully facilitated over 20 free heart surgeries through the Rajiv Gandhi Yojana at various hospitals. Targeting children in impoverished families, born with heart issues, the initiative aims to bridge the gap in medical treatment caused by severe financial constraints. In Kudal, the Aashram not only provides shelter but also extends educational assistance to children, emphasizing a holistic approach to their well-being.

Established in October 2013 at Padurtitha, Tal. Kudal, Dist. Sindhudurg, this Ashram began in a rented house. Catering to homeless elderly, mentally challenged patients, and children of such patients, the Sanstha acquired a plot in Pandur. Currently, a three-storey building is in progress. Under the registered Jeevan Aanand Sanstha, the Ashram aids 62 individuals, including the mentally ill, physically handicapped, and misused women on the streets. The objective is to enhance their quality of life holistically, fostering self-reliance and integration into society. The Ashram provides essential amenities, including food, clothing, and medicine, free of charge, with a focus on the residents' spiritual and mental growth. Additionally, the Ashram supports children's education through the 'Shwas Bal Raksha Project,' benefiting those from underprivileged families.
