Abilashrayam Children Home (Orphanage)
We aim to bring up the children as our own and support them emotionally. Our biggest
achievement will be to put a smile on each and every child. We aim to teach our
children to gain self confidence and aspire to become someone, choose a career path
and help others along the way.
Our goal is to create positive role models within the community and to encourage
the next generation to also achieve their goals. We educate the children to help
others in the future.
Status and location of the project
The "home" is located in North Bangalore; Kodigehalli, Bangalore which currently
has close to 20 children.

The above mentioned activities will be done by setting limits with love.
What we provide to the children
As well as providing the basic needs of the children, we also provide emotional
support, education and around the clock assistance. We follow a daily set routine
to encourage discipline. We expose the children to outside visitors to encourage
social skills and networking.
Food
Our dedicated cook provides our children with only healthy and nutritional food
choices. There is a good variety of set meals, snacks and beverages. Breakfast,
lunch and dinner will be provided based on a timetable. The diet includes regular
fruit/ vegetables, daily egg and meat twice monthly.
Clothing
We prefer to give all of the children new clothes upon arrival at Abilashrayam.
We give the children a choice to be able to express individuality by having an input
in to the clothes they wear. New clothes are provided every 6 months as required.
Shelter
Our building is rented. We provide good bunker beds, blankets and pillows to sleep.
The home is very spacious and consists of 2 sleeping rooms, a dining room, a study
room, 4 toilets and a small play area in front of the house. We are very safety
precautious and security is carefully monitored.
Education
The children's education is our main priority. All children go to Shri Vinayaka
Vidya Kendra (A Private School located in Kodigehalli, Bangalore) which is 100 meters
away from the home. Part of the children’s daily routine is to participate in evening
study classes to further develop the skills learnt at school. We always lead the
children along the pathway to success and teach that any goal is achievable with
hard work and commitment.
Health Insurance
All our children are health insured under the blanket coverage scheme. The organization
has health insurance cover for all children and staff.
Little More
All the children will get a chance to watch Television every day for 2-3 hours.
They get extended time at weekends. The children will be kept busy with fun oriented
activities during the weekends. Weekly cultural activities will be conducted at
the house. An outing to the nearest park or knowledge centers will be planned once
in a month with the help of volunteers. Excursions, trips, knowledge tours and many
more will also be planned accordingly.
