Impact
Every monthly donation helps to provide shelter to orphans like Omkar
Omkar, an orphan child came to Shreevatsa when he was 11 days old weighing a meager 2.5kg. He was diagnosed with Transposition of Great Arteries, Ventricular Septal Defect, Patent Ductus Arteriousand Juxtaposed Right Atrial Appendage.
He was recommended a high-risk artial switch surgery for his survival. However, he needed to weigh minimum 5kgs to undergo surgery. With special efforts and proper nutritional care, he became strong enough and the surgery was successful. After surgery, he is recuperating well at Shreevatsa.
SOFOSH is looking for a family to adopt him. Omkar, like any regular child has a right to have loving parents and his own protective home. Help unfortunate children like Omkar with a chance at life.

Program Description
Shreevatsa, a special child care centre run by SOFOSH, was established in 1973. This centre caters to the needs of abandoned, orphaned children. Babies relinquished by their single birth mothers are also offered shelter under this roof.
Shreevatsa offers a loving home and hope to family deprived children. Children are well looked after and provided with healthy and nutritious food along with additional supplements, whenever required, to combat malnutrition. The medical needs and rehabilitation programmes for children are worked out according to their needs including speech, massage and play therapy.
SOFOSH's main aim has always been to find a home for these children as institutional care cannot substitute family care. A pre-school is run at the campus to start them off on their educational needs before adoption. Donate to this program to help poor orphan children looking for homes to have the childhood they deserve.
