The Plight of Girls on the Street
Our experience on the streets of Kochi has revealed that girls on the streets of this fast expanding city are abused, exploited and abandoned. These girl children are runaways, are often homeless, orphans, sold in beggary, and are in general totally neglected and vulnerable. Their spirits are broken beyond repair. The streets are without doubt, extremely hazardous for these young girls. They need a home where they can experience true love and care.

VALSALYA BHAVAN
In response to this situation, Don Bosco Sneha Bhavan established a home for the girl children at risk in 1997 and named it Valsalya Bhavan (Home of Compassion).
Here they are welcome to stay, find their own roots and piece together their shattered lives. Shelter, Safety, Security, loving hearts and listening ears are our top priority here. We believe that by saving girls we save generations.

REQUIRMENT OF ‘VALSALYA BHAVAN ’
From its very beginning in 1997, Valsalya Bhavan has been functioning out of a rented house. Today the space constraint makes it impossible for us to accommodate more than 18 children in the rented facility. We are looking at lodging 35 children permanently and provide temporary shelter to at least 15 children.

OUR DREAM
It is our dream to build a permanent home of our own for the girl children.

The preliminary steps like the acquisition of land, soil testing, preparation of building plans, acquiring permission for the building and the testing of the soil are all completed already. We are now intensifying our efforts to gather the required funds. The construction is due to begin on October 7, 2011.
