I am regular visitor to Manavya(Virtue of Humanity),
a home for humanity. Manavya is situated in Bhugaon, around 8 kms from Kothrud
Pune.
This NGO takes care of destitute, orphaned HIV affected children.
Manavya was started way back in 1997 by
Vijayatai Lawate, a social worker.
Vijayatai was a government servant and she
closely looked the agonies of children of sex worker women in Pune.
Initially she struggled to help them by working round the clock and taking care
of kids in isolated area. In spite of lot of odds faced by her in this social
work she continued this mission. As the needs of number of kids were increasing
and the kids were enjoying the motherhood of Vijayatai, she decided to start a
special orphanage for such kids. Manavya was started like this. Today around 60
children are living happily in Manavya campus. They are excelling in their
studies and extra-curricular activities. Few students passed 10th and 12th
exams in flying colors.
I sincerely request the readers to visit
the organization once and look at their work. More details can be found on
website www.manavya.org. They require your love and support.
Also I will be happy to guide you more on the
location and other details of Manavya if you want so.
