The program focuses on quality education, nutritious food, good physical and mental health, and rich opportunities for growth and development. A dedicated team of caregivers—including lifetime volunteers known as Mentor Parents, professional social workers, and childcare or mental health professionals—provides the love, protection, and guidance children need to thrive. Our homes, located in middle-class neighbourhoods, promote active community participation and social integration, enabling children to grow into confident, responsible, and productive citizens.
Since the first Udayan Ghar was established in Sant Nagar, Delhi, in 1996, the program has expanded to 11 homes across four states in India, supporting over 2,862 children. It has also successfully reunited hundreds of children with their families through robust gatekeeping, family tracing, and reintegration efforts.
