Snehan Home is happy to introduce & train the rehabilitation activities for our inmates. We rescue the sick and dying ones from the streets and give them the best of medical and residential care & support with nutritious food. Our care brings peace at heart and healing in their body.

Once they are improved, they become active and want to do something to pass the time in a meaningful way. Always games and recreation makes them ideal and frustrated. Therefore, to keep them occupied, Snehan Home is training them in income-generating activities according to their strength and abilities.

Our women flock makes eco-friendly cotton products and now our grandpa flocks lending hands to trim the extra yarn, tie the button and insert runner. This activity makes them occupied and helps our organization to generate income.
