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.

On September 1st, 2024, the kanthari 2024 participants, along with Sabriye Tenberken and the catalyst, visited the Snehan project in Pondicherry. A total of 27 passionate social change-makers from 11 countries came to see our project, learn from it, and provide their feedback. The visit from Sabriye and Tanja to Snehan Home was a blessing and an incredible experience.

We gave them a tour of our income-generating activities, such as the tailoring unit, where marginalized women are trained to make eco-friendly cotton products. These products are then sold on the streets of Pondicherry by rehabilitated grandpas.

I had almost two hours of interaction with the kanthari participants, during which I shared about Snehan Home, our mission to rescue old, abandoned, sick, and dying grandpas from the streets, and how we provide them with medical and residential care and support. They were deeply moved by our humble activities and had many questions to ask and learn from. It was a mutual learning experience for all of us.
