Short Stay Home for distressed
Women and Girls - ASHRAYA


With a noble thought to provide shelter to helpless nomadic women as well as girls NYSASDRI has established a Short Stay Home at Village Santhasara, Santhasapur, in Gondia Block of Dhenkanal. This programme is being assisted by Central Social Welfare Board since the year 1996. In rural area being tempted with the false assurances of marriage, many of the girls end up with elopement, pre-marital sex and consequences of child bearing. As a result of absconding of the boy eventually they are thrown away from family and the community for such actions. Finding no helping hand for her support many of the suicidal attempt cases crop of.

 
 

Hence Short Stay Home is established to give short shelter and aims to regain the self confidence of such ditched women, by rehabilitation skill trainings and counseling. Women in the age range of 15-35 years are admitted in this home. Children up to the age of 7 years are also admitted in the home along with the mothers. These children's primary schooling is borne by the programme which includes expenditures on tuition fees, cost of books and study materials etc. Tailoring, knitting and kitchen garden activities are taught to these residents during their stay. Efforts are also established to mainstream these women in society either through vocational training and promotion of their independent income generating activities.

These victimized women girls come to the home either by themselves or with the recommendation of Govt official, police, court and PRIs. Health check ups, education, structured day schedule and maintenance of discipline as per time table are taught to them during their stay. Their daily routine starts from morning prayer at 6 am, followed by personal chores of bathing, grooming, dressing, breakfast , vocational trainings, lunch, rest, garden work, evening prayer at 6 pm, cultural programme and watching TV programme , dinner and at the end going to bed etc.
