Homes for destitute women and girls

India's population of 1.1 billion people includes hundreds of millions who live on the streets with little hope of change or improvement.  In this poverty stricken environment, boys are considered an asset to the family and girls are seen as a burden.  Unwanted girls are sometimes abandoned.  So many girls have no opportunity to live with joy and hope. Orphaned and semi-orphaned girls find a home and shelter in the home at Mukti Mission.  Matrons and Guardians fill the role of parents, helping the girls grow in a loving atmosphere.  They live in different flower-named families, growing up as normal unaffected girls. Over the years many professional workers have emerged from the gates of Mukti.  Many have settled into families of their own. Women, abused and discarded or disgraced and rejected by their families find refuge at Mukti Mission.
