Gharkul Parivar Sanstha is established in November 2006. Concept behind the word "Gharkul" is to provide home for mentally challenged women. Especially for those whose parents are unable to cater their needs.
They are one of us, very caring, loving with many great skills and qualities. Like us it's their right to have safe shelter and good environment around them.
Gharkul is the first ever residential institute in whole North Maharashtra exclusively for mentally challenged women. It is totally run and managed by women. The ideology of Gharkul is to see the ability rather than the disability. Here our students' abilities are strengthen with the help of various therapies such as yoga, meditation, music and dance. Gharkul is functioning with strong social support and generous donations.
"We believe Gharkul is 'Home away from Home"
I started this NGO with a deep sense of purpose and love in my heart. As a mother to many mentally challenged girls, I saw how much they needed care, acceptance, and opportunities that society often overlooks. This journey is not just about helping them but also about creating a world that values and respects them for who they are. My family has grown beyond my home, and these girls have become my reason to work selflessly every day. Together, we are building a brighter future where they can thrive with dignity and joy. Thank you for being a part of this mission.
