The Udayan Ghar Program, or ‘Sunshine Homes’, is a unique group-home model founded on the concept of ‘L.I.F.E.’ (Living in Family Environment). These homes nurture children who have fallen out of the family safety net.
A Udayan Ghar is a loving residential home where vulnerable children receive a compassionate family environment. Each home accommodates around 12 children, aged 6 to 18, in single or double rooms, with separate homes for boys and girls.
The program emphasises providing quality education, nutritious food, good physical and mental health, and ample growth opportunities. A dedicated team of caregivers, including lifetime volunteers Mentor Parents, professional social workers, and childcare or mental health professionals, offers the love, protection, and guidance children need to thrive. Our homes, located in middle-class neighbourhoods, encourage community participation and interaction. Children at Udayan Care flourish, becoming productive and responsible members of society.
Since establishing our first Udayan Ghar in Sant Nagar, Delhi, in 1996, we have expanded to 11 Homes across four states in India, nurturing over 2,400 children. The program has successfully restored hundreds of children to their families through effective gatekeeping and family tracing.
