OUR CENTRES
Bal Anand, Worldchildren Welfare Trust India was established in February 1984 as a licensed children’s home for children in need of care and protection. Starting with eight children in rented premises in Chembur’s Sindhi Colony, today, Bal Anand nurtures an average of 65 children from 0-18 years in a 5 story building in Ghatla Village, Chembur.
Believing that every child has the right to a family, Bal Anand rehabilitates children without families, first and foremost, by way of adoption. It also takes in children whose families are in distress and nurtures them until they can be restored to their families. Bal Anand also cares for relinquished, abandoned, and orphaned children with special needs who will move to Umang after they turn 18 years. To know more about Bal Anand, visit www.balanandwwti.in.
