Ishwarpuram, a home for under-privileged and terror-hit children in India! Located at Fulgaon, around 30 kms
from Pune City in Maharashtra state, it houses around 45 children currently. Many of these children are from the neglected and terror prone parts
of Eastern Indian states like Manipur, Nagaland etc. Their parents are victims of terrorism that is prevailing in this region for decades together.
These children are refrained from the fundamental rights of leading a normal life.
Ishwarpuram caters for every need of these children right from food and shelter to inculcating various skills of self-employment in them.
In short, this is a second (and the only) home for these children. At Ishwarpuram, a firm commitment is made to support each and every child by giving him or her
a strong educational foundation, self-esteem, and values. We also help them plan as to how they can earn a steady livelihood as a step towards improving
their standard of living. At the same time, these children are made aware of ill-effects of terrorism, and a strong sense of patriotism and
belonging is inculcated in them.
