Saheli Residence

Saheli Residence is designed to provide immediate support to women who are in distress and have no where to go and children who are at high risk of being abused or those who need a loving place to study. We do not accept those children whose legal guardians are not available. For such children, one should contact the Child Helpline (Telephone Number: 1098) who will then assist you in finding a legal place for such children.

Located in Sewla Kalan on the outskirts of Dehradun. The residents stay in the home and their food, education & all personal needs are taken care of. The children go to school, the women are given vocational training and helped in securing work. Adult women are allowed to stay in the home for a maximum period of 3 years, after which we help them find rented accomodation and they shift out. The children are cared for till the time they finish their education and find jobs.
