Snehalaya rehabilitation centre for HIV-Hit children : Sewa Bharati RSS

Snehalaya rehabilitation centre has proved as a home of respect
for children belonging to red light area and affected by HIV.
Himmatgram project initiated by Snehalaya in Ahmednagar district of
Maharashtra has become a new ray of hope for the children of women
engaged in prostitution.
The man behind this noble work is Girish Kulkarni. A social
karyakarta since college years, Prof Kulkarni once witnessed an
extremely bitter picture in red light area. A 14-year-old girl was
brought there and forced to prostitution. He was extremely moved by
her plight and vowed to transform this situation. Along with his
team of karyakartas, he started visiting the habitats of
prostitutes and earned their trust to take them out of this deep
well. This gave birth to his maiden project for the upliftment of
HIV-hit children that served as a lighthouse for the other social
institutions.
The centre currently houses 400 boys and girls hit by HIV and
belonging to the red light area. A separate arrangement has been
made for HIV-hit children. The rehabilitation centre functions in a
wide area of seven-acre land.
These children inhale an air of peace at Snehalaya. Their
personality is developing systematically through education and
sanskars. Snehalaya has completely erased the bitter memories
related to police raid, dark rooms, intoxication, goons, etc from
the lives of these children. The routine comprising of physical
exercise, cleaning of premises, studies, lunch, dinner, school,
sports, reading and prayer has completely transformed their lives.
These children study at 18 different schools of Ahmednagar and
carve a niche for themselves in different fields after completing
their schooling.
Many girls and boys from Snehalaya have got married in respectable
families. This institution strives hard to curb the sexual,
economic and mental exploitation of women from red light area
engaged in prostitution. A number of drives have been undertaken
till date. This has helped in rectifying various issues pertaining
to the problems of prostitutes before the society.
Snehalaya has greatly helped women who are eager to quit
prostitution. Some of them are also striving to pull their
counterparts out of this evil profession. Creating a team of
karyakartas from the project area itself is the real credit of
Snehalaya.
Bal-bhavan project has been initiated in five slums of Ahmednagar.
Education, health and women empowerment are at the nucleus of this
project. Nobody will be deprived of education; nobody will be
forced to child labour; girls will not be married at an early age;
houses will not fall in the trap of money lenders are some of the
oaths administered to the karyakartas for turning the slums into
ideal ones. Training centres have also been opened for children
where they are taught the lessons of personality development.
Snehalaya also runs adoption centres. A number of couples have
derived the joy of becoming mummy and papa due to this initiative
of Snehalaya. Destitute and calamity-hit women have also got a sigh
of relief here.
Shram Sanskar Camps are organized twice a year in which over 1,000
college students take part. In this five-day-long camp, discussion
is held regarding various social problems and the corresponding
drives are undertaken. Assistance is also provided to youths for
opening various social institutions.
More than 100 staffers, thousands of karyakartas and well wishers
have made Snehalaya grow by leaps and bounds. The work is now
growing with added enthusiasm on a huge 30 acre land.
