Situated on the border of
Fancy Bazaar and Pan Bazaar on the bank of the Brahmaputra, this is a
first contact center where the kids who come in touch with the Snehalaya
program are received. It was opened on March 23, 2002.
This is a short-stay home,
a drop-in center. As of now, it is also a home for the senior boys who are
engaged in various skill-trainings like candle-making,
two-wheeler mechanics, driving, tailoring, photo-framing etc.
Non-formal education, counseling, health-care and recreation are
provided here besides basic facilities like food and clothes, shelter with toilet facilities. On an average about 25 to 30
kids are sheltered here.
The monthly Mela is a
program for children on the
streets who do not stay in the Snehalaya homes. Every month about 30 kids are invited
to participate in a day-long program consisting of bath and
hair-cut, games, CD shows, competitions and sumptuous food. The program is managed
practically by the senior kids of the Shelter Home.
