We strive to create equal opportunity for all of our underprivileged children so that they lead a dignified life no matter how bad their past is!
New home has two separate homes for Junior and Senior girls. Currently we have accommodated 50 girls in this building.

Our children at New Home are always taught to put their best foot forward. New Home provides a sense of community and self belonging that are children do not feel left out. In spite of their difficult backgrounds they learn to have consistency in their lives. Most of them are provided with educational & learning opportunities that they may not have had otherwise. This helps them to explore more opportunities and take advantage of a better life. The children that have passed off from New Home have now secured good jobs and are able to care for themselves and their families.
