Our Seva Saytu Centre

History

The Seva Saytu centre was opened in 2007.  The centre consists of two main buildings (approximately 25′ x 25′), toilets, and playground.  A third hall is partly built, awaiting further funds.

This centre is specifically used for short-term accommodation of new arrivals to our centres (especially street-children) and for children awaiting possible restoration with their families.  The isolated location means that this centre provides no distractions, which helps to “ground” the children in a new way of living.  If the children are not restored to their families then they are moved to one of the other centres, depending on their age, gender and specific requirements.
