About:
My name is Scarlett Roby. I am 16-years old and a Grade 12 student at MIT-WPU, Kothrud, Pune.
It is heartbreaking when children and women are forced to grow up without the care and protection of their families. Maher Ashram in Vadhu Budruk ( 30km from Pune city), offers a safe home to 186 such children and women. They provide them with shelter, emotional support, and a chance to rebuild their lives. Many of them have faced unimaginable trauma, including abuse, trafficking, and neglect. At Maher, they receive not only safety but also the love, care, and opportunities they deserve.
Maher Ashram is building a new facility next to the current one. The current facility is already at full capacity. The new building will have a ground floor and two upper floors, each covering 6,800 square feet. It will accommodate 230 women and children in need.
The total construction cost is estimated to be INR 3.81 CR. INR 2 CR has already been raised. We aim to raise the remaining INR 1.81 CR through crowdfunding.
