“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.

  • 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 provide children with vocational training and primary literacy education.
  • To unite the children with their families or provide institutional care.
