MARIA SADAN

On 4 April 1960 Fr Victoria, parish priest of Holy Cross Church, Nirmal, invited SHM to work in the area. Initially the sisters visited twice a week. After seven months the sisters found an unused house and shifted there. In 1971 the sisters set up a clinic-cum-maternity home as medical services for the poor were unavailable. The people flocked to the clinic and in December 1975 it was converted into a well-equipped hospital. A nutrition program for the local women was also initiated. However, as other medical centres opened in the area, the hospital was gradually closed.

​

Seeing the poor condition of the children, SHM started a kindergarten in 1981 and a good number of children were admitted. A home was also opened in 1981 where poor young girls could be sheltered, cared for and educated.

​

In June 2018, the children of the home were shifted to Asha Sadan-Waliv and Maria Sadan accommodated the young girls who aspired to complete their junior college and graduation.
