ABOUT GHARPAN FOUNDATION


Gharpan Foundation is dedicated to uplifting the most vulnerable individuals often found abandoned in public spaces like roadsides, railway stations, bus stands, and other communal areas. Many of these individuals suffer from neglect, lacking basic needs like food, water, and clothing, which often pushes them towards a slow and painful decline. Gharpan Foundation’s mission is to provide a safe haven and restore dignity to these individuals by offering comprehensive care and support.

The Foundation operates residential homes, where those in need receive shelter, nutritious meals, personal care, and medical attention at no cost. Each home is a community effort, fuelled by the compassion and generosity of the society. At present, Gharpan Foundation manages multiple residential homes across various regions, providing essential services to thousands of residents. Our residents include men, women, and children from diverse backgrounds who face challenges such as mental illness, physical disabilities, chronic diseases, and old age.

In addition to human welfare, Gharpan Foundation extends its care to animals in distress, providing shelter and medical aid to sick and injured animals, including cows, dogs, cats, and other stray animals that need a compassionate touch.

We believe in the power of community and strive to restore moral values by encouraging society to care for those who have been abandoned. Gharpan Foundation is more than just a shelter; it is a movement to bring back hope and humanity into the lives of those who have been forgotten.

Gharpan Foundation invites you to join our mission, not just through donations but also by volunteering your time and skills. Our doors are always open for those who wish to contribute to the well-being of our residents and experience the fulfilment of selfless service. Our organisation thrives on transparency, and visitors often leave inspired by the dedication and warmth of our volunteers and staff. Together, we can create a more compassionate world.


WHO WE ARE

Gharpan Foundation was established to bring hope and dignity to those abandoned and suffering in society’s harshest corners. Our mission began with a simple yet profound belief: every person deserves a life of dignity, care, and respect, no matter their circumstances. We offer a lifeline to individuals who are often neglected—those found in dire conditions at public places, struggling with illness, disability, and despair.

Through our network of residential homes, Gharpan Foundation provides a safe and nurturing environment where the most vulnerable are welcomed without judgment. Here, they receive comprehensive care, including medical treatment, nutritious meals, clothing, and personal support, all made possible through the generosity of compassionate individuals. Our focus is not just on survival but on restoring the health, self-worth, and sense of belonging of those we serve.

Our homes operate as sanctuaries of hope where lives are transformed daily. We believe in not just healing physical wounds but also mending broken spirits. Once our residents regain their health, we work towards their rehabilitation, empowering them to reintegrate into society with renewed confidence and dignity.

Gharpan Foundation’s work is a testament to the power of community and compassion, reaching across borders to touch lives and inspire change. Our commitment is unwavering, and our vision is clear: to create a world where every individual, regardless of their past or present, is treated with the respect they deserve.

To create a world where no individual is left to suffer alone, abandoned, or in pain. We envision a compassionate society where every person, regardless of their circumstances, receives the care, dignity, and support they need to lead a life of hope and purpose.

Our mission is to restore dignity and hope to those who have been forgotten by society. Gharpan Foundation is committed to rescuing and rehabilitating individuals in distress by providing safe shelter, medical care, nutritious food, and emotional support. Guided by the spirit of compassion, we strive to transform lives through dedicated service, creating a nurturing environment that helps every person regain their health, self-worth, and place in society.
