From 1927, at St. Catherine’s Home, the Religious Sisters of the Daughters of the Cross, provide a home to helpless, vulnerable babies, girls and some older women, most of whom have been deprived of the love and protection of parents and a family, due to some oppressive circumstances. The Sisters and children tried to settle in several places but found them unsatisfactory. Finally in 1948, two families donated land for the Home and that is how St. Catherine’s Home came to be in the lush green surroundings of Veera Desai Road, Andheri (West), Mumbai, India. Children are admitted under different groupings – abandoned / relinquished babies, toddlers, orphans, children with HIV, girls placed with us for protection from abuse, children from abusive/ unsafe life situations, abused minor girls, unmarried mothers and adivasi girls. Presently there are around 400 residents.
