SOCIETY OF THE HELPERS OF MARY
MATRUCHAYA
Vengurla is an old harbour city, on the border of Maharashtra and Goa, in Sindhudurg District. Bishop Valerian D’Souza, diocese of Pune, invited SHM to reach out to the people in the surrounding villages whose socio-economic development had been neglected. An old house and some property was purchased and the sisters settled in to their work.
​
Now the sisters are involved in various projects for women in the villages. They also run a nursery/playschool, render educational support for poor children, and initiate livelihood programs for poor families.
