Don Bosco Sneha Bhavan in Kochi

Sneha Bhavan, an initiative to provide a safe roof and living for the destitute children, is a part of Don Bosco network. The organisation, with the help of Cochin Municipal Corporation was established in 1974. The main aim of Sneha Bhavan was to rehabilitate children from the street and provide them all the basic facilities and dignity.

Not just street children, the organisation also provides shelter to youths at risk such as child labourers, child beggars, abused children, children from dysfunctional families, youth in conflict with the law and run away children. Through its various community projects and five core rehabilitation centres, Sneha Bhavan endeavours to fulfil these basic goals:
  • To re-unite runaway children or missing children with their family.
  • To provide a safe home for homeless children and offer them all the basic necessary fundamental rights that will help them grow as a responsible and dutiful citizen of the country.
  • Every child in the centre are provided with education and social awareness.
  • To spread awareness among the general people about the exploitations on street children and encourage them to stop child abuse.
  • To help the children come up with a reliable and established career and promising future.
  • To re-integrate the disadvantaged children of the society back in to the cultured and civilized society.
  • In order to accomplish these tasks, Sneha Bhavan takes the help of government, Municipal Corporation and other like-minded individuals and corporate houses.
