Open Shelter Home for Children and Youth at Risk:

“It is easier to build strong children than to repair broken men”

Don Bosco Nivas is a temporary shelter facility to provide a safe and comfortable short stay for children in need of care and protection.

Project Description

Don Bosco Nivas is a residential center intended to provide temporary shelter to at-risk children arriving through railways or rescued by CHILDLINE from different parts of the district of Trivandrum. We provide a caring and nurturing environment here. Children are provided:

  • Emergency shelter
  • Clothing and medication
  • Short-term skill training
  • Long-term rehabilitation services

This center is registered under Juvenile Justice (Care and Protection of Children) Act 2000 with facilities to accommodate 25 children at a time.

Goals

  • To Rescue and protect children from the trauma of physical and sexual abuse, extreme neglect, being abandoned, and being a victim of child labor or beggary.
  • To help the children overcome their initial trauma through individual counseling and increase their self-acceptance, and restore dignity
  • To provide children with vocational training and primary literacy education.
  • To unite the children with their families or provide institutional care.
