Description
Aangan Home
State
  • Delhi
District
  • South Delhi
Aangan is a day care that we have been running since 2008 with the support from Max India Foundation. It was started initially to provide healthcare and nutrition to the children belonging to the homeless communities living near Jama Masjid, but the centre has seen a major growth since its induction back then. Today it is a fully equipped day care offering non-formal education along with mainstream regular school admissions for older children, quality healthcare and nutritious food for 40-50 children every day. Along with this, children are exposed to a variety of activities meant for their social, emotional and physical growth such as arts and craft, dance and theatre, sports, indoor games, life skills education, awareness on health related issues, etc.
Aanchal Home
State
  • Delhi
District
  • South Delhi
The children’s home for girls ‘Aanchal’, working for creating a family environment for a group of twelve children coming from difficult backgrounds with either negligible adult support or no adult support at all. We started off with eleven girls this year, said goodbye to three, but welcomed four new girls. These twelve girls are growing more and more each and every day through the opportunities Aanchal has to offer. They are given an education through school and at home and are eager to learn.
Aman Home
State
  • Delhi
District
  • South Delhi
‘Aman’ has been Jamghat’s first project, operating successfully since 2003, having rehabilitated more than 40 boys in all these years. After getting a family in Jamghat, these children were able to come out of a drug-based environment and were willing to be reunited with their families. During their time at Aman, they learned skills based on their specific interests and capabilities. Most of them today have remained self reliant; they got married and are able to support their families.
Aman is a long term children’s home with a capacity of 15 boys. In case of need, it can accommodate few more children.

Organisation Profile

Brief Description
A Brief Introduction:
Established in 2003, Jamghat comprises of young adult professionals and volunteers with a variety of skills and experiences. We are a registered NGO that aims to help
children living and working on the streets of Delhi to realize their dreams and re-join society by offering opportunities for street children and society alike to make changes in their lives.
In 2003, Action Aid India forwarded a grant to design a play about life on the streets.Fourteen street children came together with Theatre artists Amit Sinha and Lokesh
Jain, and their lives were forever changed. The play was performed for Prince Charles and was such a success that it travelled India and abroad for the next 3 months. The experience nurtured self confidence and a feeling of capability in the children.

They realized this and refused to return to the streets. Despite lack of funds, they decided to live together and continue spreading awareness through theatre. Jamghat, a lively gathering, was born.

Our Vision:
To form a joyful, open, living, learning collective that facilitates growth and takes care of children’s needs according to age.
