What We Do

It Is The First Organization In North Maharashtra Only For Girls.

"North Maharashtra's first organization run entirely by women is not just a milestone; it's a movement toward a future where gender equality leads the way."

Our mentally challenged girls cannot get regular education. However we take all the efforts to teach them daily household work so that they can take care of their personal hygiene and can contribute to the daily chores of Gharkul to some extent. In order to reduce the behavioral problems of our girls, we try to keep them occupied as far as possible. We also provide vocational training. This gives them a sense of confidence and gives them an opportunity to learn new things and show their capabilities in front of the society. We are very proud of our students because after receiving apt training especially in artifacts they become proficient in many of the products.

Special Activities

In Gharkul we undertake Special Activities in order to reduce Social,emotional and behavioural problems of our students. Tease Special Activities help them to become meaningful part of society. The Special Activities are therapeutic in nature .

Along with our parents, we have observed that these girls feel happier, more content, and self-confident at Gharkul than at their homes, as they get a peer group and a feeling of acceptance and appreciation.

Some of the activities conducted at Gharkul are as follows:
  • 🎵
    Music and dance therapy
  • 🧘‍♀️
    Yoga, pranayama, meditation, and laughter yoga
