Providing shelter to the homeless and chronically sick aligns with our ethical responsibility to care for the most vulnerable members of society. By providing a safe protected space – we demonstrate compassion, empathy, and a commitment to upholding basic human rights.
‘Anandam’ – A home for the homeless, was set up to support unidentified patients discharged from AIIMS Trauma Centre & Safdarjung Hospital Delhi on 5th January 2007 at Vijay Mandir. Shri Jagiram Ji, the first patient, has been with us since 2007. Most of the patients brought to Anandam are either homeless or suffer loss of memory due to some trauma or are comatose. Some are severely handicapped, and some have mental health issues.
In Anandam Vijay Mandir inmates are cared for like elders and family members. The Social Workers attend to the daily needs which includes personal hygiene, food, medication and physiotherapy. A well-equipped ambulance is available for transporting the patients to Hospital in Alwar or to Jai Prakash Narayan Apex Trauma Centre or Safdarjung hospital in Delhi for scheduled OPD or in emergencies. Our social workers take care of:
- Complete personal hygiene
- Preventive action for bed sores
- Timely medication, nutrition and supplements
- Feeding liquid or solid diet
- Maintaining hygienic conditions
This is a painstaking job which requires lot of commitment and dedication– ‘Sewa’ as we say. We also believe that their first right is to reside with their own families if possible. Hence, our aim is to give them medical and supportive care till they are capable of being rehabilitated with their families. In this way, Sapna has been instrumental in restoring several sick and infirm persons to their families.
NGO SAPNA’ was registered in Delhi under the Societies Registration Act on 21st October, 2004. It was founded by a group of professionals who shared a dream to work on a people-centric model of development in areas of health, education, gender, community development and social welfare. Inspired by Gandhian ideals of ‘Sewa’ i.e. selfless service, SAPNA’s mission is to work/act as an ‘agent of change’ to support and empower the poor and the marginalized.
