STREET PROVIDENCE GOA completes 1 full year of running a full fledged FREE PHYSIOTHERAPY CENTRE @ Sangolda for the homeless street people with disabilities.

On 17.6. 2022 , we started on a soft note a small Physiotherapy centre at Sangolda which was officially innaugrated on 23.8.2022 by The Honourable Social Welfare Minister of Goa, Shri Subhash Phal Dessai in the presence of The Disability Commissioner of Goa Shri Guru Pawaskar.

This is the link of the innaugration of our 1st Physiotherapy unit .

Whatever the Minister & Disability Commissioner spoke at the innaugration has actually translated into reality where our NGO is concerned.

And from this one Physiotherapy centre we have added 2 more Physiotherapy centre's in Goa.

Yes in the last 12 months,  we now run 3 full fledged Physiotherapy centre's in Goa, strictly FREE of cost for the poor & homeless street people with disabilities living in all our 8 shelter homes.

And these 3 Physiotherapy centre's conducted 1600 sessions in this 12 months.

List attached of the breakup unit wise/ month wise.

This 1st Physiotherapy centre @ Sangolda was made possible by the families of two people who are bereaved.

My late sister in law Dr Gail & her husband who was kind enough to give me & my family this big property and late Mrs Ditosa husband who funded the entire renovation of this 200 sq mt unit.

Initially to start this 1st Physiotherapy centre we required equipment and Mr Varun Albuquerque from Alcons was generous enough to sponsor the equipment along with a GOAN well Wisher from Pune who donated the balance equipment for which we are always thankful.

Today with all humility, I  thank The Social Welfare Department @ Government of Goa for funding this 1st Physiotherapy centre of 

Rs 5 lacs  as well as clearing all our bills within the prescribed limit of the grant from Oct 22 to March 23 ie The Physiotherapist salary & a cleaner wages.

Our expenses for 6 months ie Oct 22 to Mar 23 was credited to our account in the month of May 23 as we submitted our bills and accounts mid April 23.

The support and commitment shown by the Social Welfare Department , Government of Goa headed by The Minister Subhash Phal Dessai is encouraging and motivating.

So much so that in early December 22 , we started on the same day, two more such units in South Goa.

One at our Quepem shelter home and another at our Cavelossim shelter home. 

Infact, The Minister for Social Welfare, Mr Subhash Phal Dessai Innaugrated the Quepem Physiotherapy centre at 10 am.

And on the same day , The Member of Parliament , South Goa, Mr Francisco Sardinha , innaugrated the Cavelossim Physiotherapy centre at 12 pm in the presence of Benaulim MLA Mr Venzy Viegas.

Just like we run shelter homes for the homeless & food bank fridges to feed the homeless, we also run Physiotherapy centre's for the homeless.

Alcohol and substance abuse is the main causes of the people ( men ) reaching the streets and then they develop symptoms of disabilities.

So much so that most of the homeless In our mens homes are totally suffering from muscle issues in their legs which make them unable to stand and walk , all because of alcohol consumption.

In such cases I was unable to do much in their detoxification period as they just could not walk or even stand properly.

That's when I was inspired to start Physiotherapy centre's.

And today , these 3 Physiotherapy centre's are playing a big part in the rehabilitation of the 165+ homeless people in all our 8 shelter homes.

Running these Physiotherapy centre's is not easy and there is a Cost.

Only 1 unit is funded by the Government and the Physiotherapist salary of this unit is funded only 50% of what we actually pay the Physiotherapist.

♡♡♡ A big thanks to Dr Ashton a young budding Physiotherapist from Santa Cruz who helped me in setting up all 3 units and linking me up witn the Physiotherapist in all 3 units.

Not to forget our Supplier Mr Bhavesh for the credit period offered and still he offers credit.

Our Sangolda Unit takes care of the homeless In our 5 homes in North Goa. 

Our Quepem unit takes care of the homeless In the Quepem home.

Our Cavelossim unit takes care of the homeless In our 2 homes in Cavelossim.

The most complicated unit is at Sangolda as all the inmates from our 5 shelter homes in North Goa are daily transported by Car / Ambulance from the homes to this unit at Sangolda, where the Physiotherapist Miss Charmaine from porvorim treats them with much love & care.

Some are Wheeled in on wheelchairs , some are brought on stretchers from our shelter homes in North Goa, but everyone walks away after a few sessions of Physiotherapy witn confidence and pride.

Imaging daily bring 5 to 6 homeless people suffering from mental disabilities as well as physical pain for Physiotherapy.

Care givers and attendants too are brought along with these 5 to 6 people for Physiotherapy & imagine the transportation up and down and it happens all 6 days a week.

But there is joy and self satisfaction when the final session ends and the homeless person is smiling and enjoying the end of the pain.

Have you ever heard of any Shelter home in Goa or even India offering free Physiotherapy sessions for the poor & homeless street people with disabilities ?

Like I said above, Physiotherapy is not an easy or cheap service, as the Physiotherapist has to be paid a Salary.

And we successful conducted 1600 sessions of Physiotherapy for the homeless In 1 full year.

WE DARE TO DREAM BIG DREAMS.

Canacona Police gets off the streets this poor old homeless slightly paralyzed man to our shelter home at Quepem 

Mr John as his Police papers state has been living in chinchinim / Assolna for over 3 decades either doing manual work for a living.

Now at 65 + years he has grown old and lonely and he is an Asthma patient.

Few months back he fell down / got hurt and landed in District hospital margao and that's how he ended up using a stick/ clutch for moving around.

In between he was staying in a shelter home in canacona but due to the home shutting down he was roaming and living on the streets of Canacona as told to us by him.

He was given my no / he got my no and he called me pleading to be sheltered as the rains have started and he is having mobility issue in moving around and survival on the streets is tough at his age.

Looks to be clean of alcohol & smoking.

Two nights ago , Canacona Police were kind enough to do his paperwork and dropped him to our home @ Quepem. 

Tired, stressed , malnourished , lonely, alone and not in the best of health 

Has a brother in Mangalore who also is a bachelor like him that what he told us.

He just required a roof and food which we agreed to provide him as he really can't work anymore due to his slight paralysis one side.

Too many such old bachelors & spinsters on the streets of Goa turning homeless.

As the monsoon is about to kick in, there are many out there looking for place to stay but we are really getting over loaded.

Not exactly sure what is the government plan to address the homeless on the streets especially in the major cities of Goa.

We are trying to take in only the most deserving, the old and the people suffering from Disabilities.

Just incase anyone recognises him from chinchinim / assolna / Canacona area please do let me know through whatsapp on 8380097564.

Recently we took into our women shelter home a young Maharashtrian lady who has gone through endless pains caused due to excess addiction to alcohol.

Introduced to alcohol by her ex husband who is also an alcoholic. 

Determined to fight alcohol and wishes to stand strong in life.

Educated well , has the capacity to work, wants to be independent, but due to no control over her emotions ends up consuming excess alcohol & that has even damaged her liver.

Worked in different places to survive after being divorced, but meets the wrong person who plays on her emotions and that leads to excess drinking.

Twice admitted by Police into IPHB as excess drinking caused her to reach & fall on the streets

Few months back again got emotionally disturbed and excess drinking caused her to get herself ” self admitted into IPHB “.

But this time requested for help ” to get rehabilitated in a home where she can put her educational qualifications to use and get a job too while staying in the rehabilitation home “.

And that was only ” STREET PROVIDENCE GOA “.

I just thank God that this young lady after getting self discharged used her mind to reach a rehabilitation Home and take help for her excess alcoholic habits rather reaching the streets where she could have been exploited and hurt.

This lady after being admitted many times into IPHB has heard of our SHELTER HOME and our rehabilitation programs & to my surprise she knows quite a lot of ladies who are rehabilitated in our ladies shelter homes.

At the moment lady is on quite alot of psychiatric medications as the excess alcohol has or might have effected her cells resulting in her getting hallucinations, hearing voices, sleep loss ,etc.

Not going to be easy for her as she is highly educated but she has no choice but to detoxify  completely and stay in a rehabilitation Home for a few years as well get a small job in the rehabilitation home as that will keep her steady with timely medications, follow up at the IPHB, periodical blood tests as well as a complete nutrition program as she could have damaged her internal organs due to excess alcohol.

Incase she had not entered a rehabilitation Home , her condition could have got worse as she could have ended up again in alcohol, her mental stability could have worsened, that could can lead to anger and abusive nature, which can lead to crime and then that can land one in Jail.

Handling alot of such homeless cases in the last 5 years of our rehabilitation program, I have seen, understood , stabilised,  helped quite a few men & women to get back on track.

On the flip side I have failed, as many times those in alcohol & substance abuse refuse to belive they need help and most of these types of people end up back on the streets or just wander around till their medical condition deteriorates that one day they will kick the bucket.

This Maharashtrain lady accepts and recognises that she has a serous alcoholic issue which is turning her psychiatric and she wants help to fight this alcoholic issues and that makes our rehabilitation program come into good effect for her to recover and get her life back in the due course of time.

Those in alcohol mostly suffer from diabetics and we have 26 % population of goa suffering from diabetics which is very high.

Too much of alcohol & substance abuse leads to mental breakdown which is also in the rise.

The after effects of excess alcohol & substance abuse is destroying people as young as 22 years of age and above

We @ Street Providence Goa stands with such sad & lonely people who have messed up their own lives and who today are in need of a Hand to go through their difficult phases of their lives.

It's not easy but it's challenging, living and caring for such people who have no one else to fall back and the world is ready to swallow and destroy such vulnerable people either by destroying their bodies or pushing them into the flesh trade or trafficking them.

We @ Steeet Providence are doing the little we can to bring a change in the lives of the poorest of the poor and the most vulnerable section of society.

A little help from you can bring huge joy in the life of this young, pregnant , single , widow , to be mother and her unborn child.

Phone rings at 9.30 pm last night.

Call from Goa Police @ Old Goa Police station,

” can u please help to shelter a homeless 19 year old girl carrying a 6 months unborn and just travelled close to 3000 kms to reach Goa ? “.

No one wants to get into such complicated requests as such cases require alot of running around.

And I am sure , the call has gone to other homes as well , but no space, will be surely be the answer.

My Reply ” hold on , I will check with the team “.

Quickly Team agrees & a 80 year old NUN incharge of this ladies home & a lady care giver are ready on standby by, along with our Operations Manager,  Mr Sapnesh to welcome this young lady.

Finally we receive through the Goa Police  at approx 11pm this young homeless to be mother, into our home even though all our 4 ladies  homes are full.

No request has ever been rejected in any of our 4 ladies homes because of space and never will we ever say no to a request especially if its at night.

Girl has taken the wrong decision in her life and a few months back got married against her family wishes.

Husband was an orphan,  met online &

got married 6 months back.

Both are from different states and different religions.

Unfortunately husband met with an accident and expired 3 months back.

Her family refuses to take her back.

Decided to go to Delhi and try to get a job to survive.

Met an Angel in the train who told her not to go to Delhi as its not safe for single mother but go to Goa which is much more safer than any other state in India.

Landed last evening in Goa and went around searching for help before being spotted by PINK FORCE / GOA POLICE.

Situation looks sad , bad and frightening. 

But WE DARE TO DREAM @ Street Providence.

It's going to really tough in the coming 3 months but that's what we are called to do.

” Care for the those who have no one & abandoned, irrespective of the situations “.

I have a family with 3 children and I know how things go through before delivery especially from the medical perspective. 

Tomorrow it start :

We @ Street Providence are committed to provide all the best we can to this ” young to be mother ” who has showed nerves of steel and inspite of her loss of her husband is determined to live a life by giving life to the unborn in her stomach.

What is going on in her head who knows and no one can imagine. 

That pain, the rejection, the loneliness, tough thoughts about the future, the hunger and no money, unsure when she sleeps at night will she be safe in the morning, etc.

All her train travels of the 3000kms have been in general compartment without a valid ticket.

You too can stand with her and her unborn in :

Please no requests about the future plans of the girl and the unborn child.

We will look after both of them as long as she wishes to stay with us which I am sure will be long term and we intend to offer her a job in our NGO as she speaks fluent and clear English and is educated upto 10th std.

This 75+ old abandoned lonely goan man living on the streets of Margao , picked up today and admitted into our Shelter home by our Volunteer Mr John Baptist supported by Fatorda Police. 

Mr Leuin, must be 75 years old and for over a month, he was living in the heat and hot summer on the streets of Margao in the vicinity of Holy Spirit Church and speaks fluent English.

Video attached.👇

Terribly sick and suffering from a sickness which requires an operation but due to being homeless he is still suffering and operation not yet done.

He Can be Like anyones father , uncle,  grand father , brother. 

And at this age to be terribly sick and on the streets is sad and depressing for all.

But then nothing can be done except getting such people to a shelter home.

Infact March 2021 , we had picked up this same man from Navelim church and he stayed for a year and left in Aug 2022.

Last 1 month he has been living in the heat and dust in margao and requesting me to please help him once again.

Actually we don't take back anyone who had left our homes as it then creates a precedence for the others to leave and go and drink, enjoy and come back as and when their heath gets worse and we have to run around fixing their heath issue.

But since Mr LEUIN is old and the heat has been too bad and the rains are started,  we made an exception and took him in.

All are aware that the homeless are too many in margao city .

But this was bound to happen as the only running shelter home right in the heart of the city was forcibly shut down a few years back.

And who is suffering  ?

The poorest of the poor on the streets.

And these poor homeless people are always located right from Holy Spirit Church to the garden and going around Grace Church margao plus around the municipality building.

And I say NO one, including both the Fatorda & Margao MLAs, the parishioners of both these churches, the councilors of MMC & Society at large is doing anything long-term and concrete to address this issue which is like a eye sore to all in this city.

Everyday we get calls to take some one or the other from Margao city and we refuse as the city needs to have its own shelter home and those who shut down this home 3 years back needs to know how life is cruel and difficult to those living on the streets of Margao.

And all those who have died on the streets of margao due to no shelter as the only Shelter home in margao was shut down, their death on the streets is because of no foresight on those who shut down a running shelter home.

And in the coming years , the homeless are bound to increase in the city and the homeless will keep dying for want of shelter.

But who cares ?

25 % of the homeless In Goa are genuine goans who have turned homeless for real genuine reasons and the nos are increasing silently but quickly.

We require your help constantly and continously as rehabilitating of the homeless is a daily and a non stop service.

This elderly goan man Mr LEUIN will need trips to the hospital, admission and operation & after care help to fight his sickness and its not going to be easy for him nor for us .

But some one has to get the job done towards such old abandoned and homeless Goans on the streets of Goa.

REHABILITATION AT STREET PROVIDENCE FOCUSES ON HELPING HOMELESS / individuals with mental disabilities regain stability in their lives.

This post is about true goemkarpon which i lived in Goa when I was a small child.

Today, we are seeking public assistance for a 45-year-old Goan Hindu Brahmin man from Priol constituency, who was born into the Bhatji/priest profession and completed his 12th standard education. 

At the age of 30, he experienced a mental health decline and has been on psychiatric medication for the past 15 years.

Due to his condition, he is unable to live with his elderly mother, as he becomes physically aggressive towards her and refuses to take his medication. 

For approximately 18 months, we have been providing him with rehabilitation services in our Shelter Home.

Initially, he exhibited destructive behavior and became easily agitated by even the slightest disturbances, such as someone coughing in the shelter home to an extent he would even break glass window panes , such was his irritation.

He would frequently cry and display heightened emotional reactions. However, through living with other men in the home and adhering to his medication regimen, he has gained control over his destructive tendencies, irritability, and emotional outbursts.

Although this young Goan man has made significant progress, it is crucial for him to continue his medication, receive further exposure, and engage in work related to his profession to enhance his confidence. 

Today he aspires to go back to his bhatji profession. 

2 min Video attached in konkanni.👇

As he is a Bhatji by birth, it is my aspiration that he can practice his Hindu faith and support himself financially.

We are seeking someone to train and guide him in his profession, enabling him to feel accepted in society. 

Despite approaching several Swamijis to inquire about his placement under their guidance for relearning his profession, we have not received any responses or opportunities for him to reside and learn in such a setting.

Street Providence aims to rehabilitate individuals from Hindu, Catholic, and Muslim backgrounds, regardless of their mental disabilities. Our shelter homes do not offer any religious services.

We take care of homeless people from all religions like Hindus,  Catholics,  Christians, Muslims.

For us HUMANITY is all that matters.

Our organization comprises Hindu employees across all our operations in Goa and our men's homes have an entirely Hindu staff, while 50% of the staff in our ladies' homes are Hindus.

Typically, when a Catholic individual passes away in our shelter home, we arrange a funeral in the local church, including a holy mass, prayers, and burial. 

However, when a Hindu individual passes away, we conduct a cremation without any religious rituals, as we are unable to find a Hindu priest to perform the service.

If this Goan man is trained to conduct these rituals, I would be grateful to have a Hindu person cremated according to their religious customs.

Additionally, he can earn a living while residing in our shelter home and he can daily buy his ice cream as he has a sweet tooth.

If any Hindu organization can assist me in helping this young Goan man return to his profession as a Bhatji, please contact me via WhatsApp at 8380097564.

As a Roman Catholic, my faith remains within the confines of my personal home. 

I am driven by my belief in Jesus Christ:

I see the presence of Christ in those who suffer and are marginalized. 

However, my wish is for this Goan Hindu man, born as a Bhatji/Priest, to reclaim his profession and become self-sufficient. 

The Goa I knew when I was in school 30 years ago differs greatly from the present. 

I hope that we can all respect each other's religions and beliefs, and through this post, I aspire for this Goan man to fulfill his duties as a Bhatji with confidence and sincerity.

All help is welcome towards this Goan Hindu man in this post.

STREET PROVIDENCE GOA rescues and accepts this highly educated goan homeless man aged 59 years old from the streets of Chinchinim two days ago.

♡♡♡ Thanks to the Sarpanch of Chinchinim & fellow panch members for getting all the paperwork done within 12 hours of me informing them about this goan homeless man sleeping on a bus stop right next to the Chinchinim church & getting the police involved.

Super fast speed by Cuncolim police station in verifying and getting their paperwork done with a short span of a few hours of being informed by the Sarpanch.

This goan man is a Bcom graduate with inter CA and has worked abroad but he is disappointed in life as his wife and children have left him.

To top it all , his sister has taken over the ancestral house and that can be due to genuine reasons I can't decide who is right or wrong.

His other brother is a priest in Mumbai and again it can be that they must have tried to help him but he is all confused and lost in life.

A mixture of being :

Carrying alot of rejection and add a mix of sickness and disappointment in life.

Totally sad case but then sympathy and pity is not what is needed but :

And this is what we @ Street Providence can and will provide.

And these types of goan men turning homeless  are increasing where wives and children have either left the husband's or the wives & children have migrated abroad and just because the husband is either sick or can't work, the husband is just ignored and abandoned. 

Today homelessness in Goa is increasing drastically and we always think and understand that the homeless In Goa are all outsiders/ non goans.

But believe me, the no of goans reaching the streets is rising and we are always reaching out in the quickest possible way to help such local goans on the streets of Goa.

To all out there in Goa , who see the homeless and wish to help them get off the streets a small request ” kindly send me pictures and a video with clear clarity of the concerned person on the streets and immediately contact the nearest police station informing them that the homeless needs to get off the streets and to route them to a shelter home “.

We use the network of Goa Police to verify and do the necessary paperwork including the homeless person medical and once all is okay the police drops to our shelter Home.

WE DONT PICK ANY HOMELESS PERSON DIRECTLY  NOR DO WE ACCEPT ANY HOMELESS PERSON INTO OUR HOME WITHOUT THE POLICE VERIFICATION. 

In the last 2 month, too many calls are coming requesting to pick the homeless.

We understand that summer heat is bad & the monsoon is approaching.

We are really overloaded with close to 165 + homeless of which  many many are  sick, old, amputated and people suffering with mental disabilities and our manpower is stretched and overloaded.

Its not that we don't want to help the homeless the issue is we are overloaded and rehabilitating the homeless with mental disabilities is not easy service.

Your unconditional support in so many ways is needed as we run 8 rehabilitation Homes in Goa for both ladies and Gents.

FOOD BANK FOR THE POOR SANGOLDA GOA  now starts food bank fridges in Jharkhand to collect extra food in big cities and feed the poor in Jharkhand and very soon we will be starting food bank fridges across many states.

By this year end we have set a target of 200 fridges to be installed in states where we are setting up shelter Homes for the homeless.

We require your support as we go across different states in India collecting extra cooked food to feed the homeless and also rehabilitating them in our upcoming homes across India.

But to collect this extra cooked food we need to install fridges in public places.

In the last 6 years in Goa we have consistently run the food bank fridges without any issues and we must be the only state in India where fridges are placed in public places in an organized manner with the required food bank license running non stop last 6 years.

To go a little further our food bank fridges in 11 police stations in GOA is the only place where one will find fridges in Police stations across INDIA ,  which indicates the commitment of the Goa police department to end hunger & homelessness.

We all feel emotional and concerned about the extra food being wasted or about the poor homeless sleeping on the streets.

But not all and everybody can start food bank fridges and open shelter homes. 

But YES , you all can help people like us @ Street Providence by donating for a worthy cause a fridge which you never know might be bringing one daily meal to that poor family situated next to the fridge you donated and in return you and your family earns blessings from God.

We as the food bank with 6 years hard core ground experience and you as our benefactor can work together towards feeding the hungry and YES together WE can reduce hunger across different states in India.

We are attempting to set up fridges starting from Jharkhand.

All your donations towards this worthy cause entitles you to Income Tax exemption under Section 80G of the I TAX ACT.

Come Walk with us in Jharkhand as we attenpt to feed those who need that little extra food.

Www.streetprovidencegoa.com 

God bless you so much 

STREET PROVIDENCE GOA has set up our 1st shelter home outside Goa @ Jharkhand along with 5 food bank fridges to accept extra food to feed the poor.

Attached a link of the innaugration.👇

Bit long , all in Hindi but at 46 minutes I speak in English & hindi.

With this home taking shape,  we will now going to send back many of the homeless In Goa who are from Jharkhand and surrounding states,  living on the streets and suffering from disabilities as well as those homeless who are in our homes in Goa but from these surrounding states.

This home will also serve the poor homeless men suffering from mental disabilities in Jharkhand.

We have collaborated with Daltonganj Diocese and decided to use one of their homes @ Bhusar which is very big and comfortable enough to hold 20 homeless street men suffering from mental disabilities. 

Space is not a constraint here and more men can be accommodated once we settle down.

Thanks to Our fellow Goan, BISHOP Rev Fr THEODORE MASCARENHAS of Daltonganj Diocese for inviting , supporting  and helping us in setting up this home for the homeless.

We both understand hunger, poverty & homeless especially with mental disabilites and we are going to work togther across Jharkhand.

Archbishop of Ranchi , Rev Felix Toppo blessed this small but yet cozy shelter home on 30.6.23 and our food bank fridges along with Bishop Theodore Mascarenhas.

This home was innaugrated by Mr Bandhu Tirkey Ex Education Minister of Jharkhand.

Also present was Mr Ram Chandra Singh, MLA of Manilka Constituency,  Jharkhand along alot of Zilla panchayat members , Sarpanches and rhe local BDO.

What started with a visit to Jharkhand in Jan 2023 by me and my fellow trustee Adv Mrs Caroline Collaso took 4 full months to get this home up and running along with the food bank fridges.

Bishop Theodore Mascarenhas In his address emphasized that no one should be homeless and go to sleep hungry 

Street Providence motto is ” Ending homeless and hunger “.

With a huge population of non goans in Goa and with homelessness in Goa increasing in the last many years, our 8 homes in Goa are getting full.

Infact we are adding another 8 homes for men & women suffering from INTELLECTUAL DISABILITIES as well soon.

The only way to address this issue of homelessness, ( which will reach full steam in 3 years from now ) is starting shelter homes across India and sending the homeless back to their respective states and later them join them back to their families.

When we started in 2017 , many ridiculed me saying there are no homeless in Goa and we are just wasting our time doing cheap publicity.

Today in Goa with  a 200 bed capacity,  we Have 165 + homeless with 100 + being ethnic goans.

Of these 165 + we care for, a combined total of  135 who are suffering from mental disabilities both men & women. 

By 1.1.2024 , we will be only accepting local Goans in our homes in Goa.

Rest of the homeless will be rehabilitated back in their respective states in our shelter Homes which we are setting up across India.

Rehabilitation is always complete when the homeless are reunited with their families in their own states and we will be doing the same.

Rehabilitation of the homeless with mental disabilities is tough and setting up such homes in Jharkhand is more tough.

We are now attempting to set up a men's home in Bihar which is most  tough state than any other state in India.

I even spent one full day in Bihar trying to see how best to go about .

Too many homeless in Goa and most are living in pathetic condition.

Our NGO might not be able to do much to completely end homelessness in Goa but a small start in two of Indias most difficult states is a challenge worth taking on.

Please do support us as we create homes for the poor and the homeless across India.

Its our 1st shelter home outside Goa.

STREET PROVIDENCE GOA is blessing and INNAUGRATING OUR 1st SHELTER HOME FOR THE HOMELESS STREET MEN WITH DISABILITIES IN DALTONGANJ DIOCESE , JHARKHAND TODAY

Honourable Mrs Jobha Majhi , Social Welfare Minister, Government of Jharkhand, is invited as the Chief Guest for the innaugration of this shelter home.

Archbishop of Ranchi , HE , Rev Fr Felix Toppo is blessings this small but yet beautiful home right in heart of mother nature.

Our fellow Goenkar , HE , Bishop Theodore Mascarenhas, Apostolic Administrator of Daltonganj Diocese is the motivating factor behind this project taking shape as we both share the same passion to help the poor homeless and the rising number of people with disabilites.

We have also invited the Local MLAs as Guest of Honour for the innaugration.

This home is for the poor homeless men suffering from mental disabilities as well as those homeless men who might be homeless.

♡♡♡  We thank alot of Government officials in the State of Jharkhand who are supporting our DREAM  in setting up this shelter home for the poor and the homeless people suffering from Disabilities.

Way back in Dec 2017 In Goa , we were the 1st ever shelter home to start & we still run free shelter homes for the homeless and the poor with disabilites in Goa.

No one in Goa understands HOMELESS & POOR WITH MENTAL DISABILITIES better than Street Providence. 

With Rock solid ground experience of running rehabilitation homes for the poor with disabilites we bring alot of experience to the states which require free shelter homes for the poor with disabilites. 

It's a PASSION to help the people with Disabilities and its a challenge to get the government to support this PASSION.

Today in May 2023 , we are the 1st free shelter home for the homeless with disabilites in the entire state of -Jharkhand.

Homeless is rising and disabilities mostly follows the homeless and with many many different people working in Goa , the homeless from different states are reaching the streets in Goa.

Looking at the current situation & the future trends, starting shelter homes for the homeless outside Goa is the only way to reduce people living on the streets in Goa which is rising fast.

Our homes in Goa are getting full and to reduce the load on our 8 shelter homes in Goa, we have decided to open Homes for the homeless In :

and in this way , we will attempt in sending back the homeless  people from Goa to these homes in their respective states so that we can take into more Goans into our homes in Goa.

For us Rehabilitation is getting people back to their respective states due to culture , food habits, life style , language,  attitude,  etc 

Infact this 1st shelter home in Jharkhand will have staff from Jharkhand, West Bengal & bihar working here.

All these 3 homeless men are currently in our Goa shelter homes and will be reaching this home soon.

All are rehabilitated and fit and fine to start life again in their own region.

One is a cook, one is a care giver cum hospital attendant and one is a cleaner cum gardener.

Our next shelter home is planned in Bihar which might be by late July or early August which will rehabilitate those from UP & BIHAR  who are currently homeless and living on the streets of Goa.

Once again I thank our benefactors & CSR partners without whose support these Dreams would not have MATERILISED.

Say a small prayer after you read this message so that more and more shelter homes for the poor homeless with disabilites start across India soon.
