SOCIETY OF THE HELPERS OF MARY
ASHASADAN
Asha Sadan was established on 15 November 1973 on two acres of land which consisted of a poultry farm.
​
The people living around the area were mainly adivasis. The sisters introduced non-formal education in Marathi for the children, beginning with the kindergarten, and coached the older children living in the neighbourhood.
​
A dispensary with maternity home was opened on 4 February 1974 to provide medical facilities, especially for children. Later, when medical care became available through other clinics, our dispensary was closed.
​
The children’s home was established in 1974 to care for those who were orphaned and neglected. Gradually as the number of children increased, Shailendra Nivas was constructed.
​
On 30 June 2018, Shanti Niketan was inaugurated. It is a rest home for our senior sisters who served humanity and are now unable to help themselves.
