Sarthak is a unique orphanage nestled in the scenic hills of Saswad, around 25 Km south of Pune. Founded and run for last 15 years by a humble and dedicated man Mr. Anil Kudou, Sarthak presently houses 94 street children from the age group 3-18 yrs.
Though the Children attend local school and study, the main impetus at the orphanage is given to sports. With open grounds around, the children play football, table tennis and other games, thanks to donors who have donated sports equipment including few TT tables. Best part of the system is that the older children teach the young and today Sarthak boasts of many children playing football & table tennis at National and District level.
Having been associated with the orphanage for more than 2 years now, working with these children is always a delight for us. As part of our work, Jeevan Pravaas conducted a Career Guidance workshop for 13 yrs plus children, interacting and helping them identify a suitable Career and path for themselves.
Lets support such organisations & individuals, who are working behind the scenes to bring in a change and build the nation by making these street orphans into productive citizens
