In rural India, there exists a substantial population of individuals with various disabilities. Regrettably, due to a combination of ignorance and poverty, many parents lack the knowledge and resources to properly care for their disabled children, provide them with adequate treatment, education, and fulfill their needs. In essence, economically disadvantaged parents struggle to accommodate an additional family member who may not contribute financially but requires significant attention and care. Consequently, these children often find themselves neglected and unnoticed, relegated to a corner of their homes. In some distressing cases, parents resort to restraining their disabled children, causing disturbances in their surroundings.

The plight of female patients is even more distressing. If, by unfortunate circumstances, a female patient happens to step out of her home, she becomes vulnerable to exploitation by unsavory individuals. This results in physical abuse, and tragically, many women residing in shelters have endured such experiences in their past.

A helpless person is one whose fundamental survival needs are not met, hindering their access to essential elements for health and social development. This problem is further exacerbated by the mistrust and prejudice they encounter from the public and authorities who perceive them as unclean or unhygienic.

“Bhai Kanhaiya Ashram” serves as a sanctuary for the helpless and needy, offering them an opportunity for rehabilitation, care, and treatment. Just as we care for our family members, it is our moral obligation to extend this care to those who need it, especially in their most vulnerable moments. By addressing both their physical and mental needs, we can provide the unconditional support they require.
