These are the unfortunate men & women whom you often see wandering on the roads, lost in their own world, laughing and talking to themselves, with dirty long matted hair, half naked and skin & bones appearance. They may be just barely surviving on garbage, gutter water and whatever leftovers of food are thrown at them by passerbys. They are in much worse shape than the poorest of the poor because they have no one, we repeat, absolutely no one to look after them. They are on the roads for weeks/months/years without food, clothing or shelter. No one may give them a second glance and often no one cares whether they live or die. They are stripped of all human dignity, but we believe that they are humans nevertheless.

Shraddha Rehabilitation Foundation was founded in the year 1988, to deal with the above tragedy of the mentally ill destitute wandering aimlessly on the streets of India.

Shraddha does not take in patients brought by family members or whose family antecedents are known.

Shraddha is a fully charitable, secular, social, apolitical and registered Non-Government Organization (NGO) wherein all the services are provided free of charge.

   To rescue maximum number of mentally ill roadside Destitutes.
