Our shelter home building is ready having capacity of 25 inmates.
|
|
|
| This is very pain full experience to see peoples wondering on roads as that of stay dog. |
|
| Currently there are 20 inmates in shelter home. All are female. Mostly suffering from schizophrenia. All are under proper treatment and improving markedly. |
|
| We have reunited 15 females with their family till date. |
|
|
| Our work Strategy |
|
| When we found any wondering mentally ill destitute on road we pick up him by calling ambulance (Rented).
After arrived in our center at first we feed them and start cleaning them. It starts from complete removal of scalp hairs. Thoroughly washing , cleaning of teeth,
changing cloths etc. |
|
| After that we start necessary psychiatric treatment after through investigations and clinical checkup.
We found that in a short period patients starts improving.
When they can recollect their memory, we try to find out their home.
After few days most of the inmates can recollect their address and then we start our investigation to find out her home and reunite with family.
Because rehabilitation of mentally ill person is possible and successful only with her family.
If no one is there to look after that particular patient at their home we are taking all responsibilities of that inmate. |
|
| Sometimes family members are not willing to accept these patients in family……as they thought lot of things especially about female inmates …….their virginity, about their character etc.
Most of the time family counseling help lot in these cases |

|
| While traveling on highways we all come across mentally ill peoples wondering on roads. They are living in their own world. They are not troubling to anybody on road or not piping in any home. Sometimes when they feel hungry they can eat whatever available at that time. It may be wasted food in garbage, unhygienic vegetables thrown by vegetable merchants and some time eating their own faces. Drinking water found in dirty ponds or from sanitary used water. |
|
| When we observed this inhuman situation we have started providing food to these mentally ill peoples regularly. Currently we are serving 20 to 30 mentally ill peoples daily on highways and in Ahmednagar city. |
|
|
|
Now we have established well equipped kitchen near Ahmednagar and preparing fresh food on daily basis. Our aim is to provide meal to at least 100 peoples per day on highway from Shirdi-Ahmednagar and adjoining roads.
