Rehabilitation

Baba knew that simply curing the disease (leprosy) wasn’t enough. It was important to completely rehabilitate the people and change their mindsets. Due to the stigma attached with leprosy, the patients could not just be sent back into society to their old lives. It became important for them to create completely new lives. Baba gave them the opportunity to rehabilitate themselves and come stay at Anandwan. A commune structure was adopted where two young couples and one older couple to stay in one home thus forming a traditional Indian joint-family. This way, family relations could be preserved and understood by those who were otherwise disowned by their blood relatives outside Anandwan. Right from hostels for the students, to communes and old age homes, MSS, Warora welcomes everyone regardless of age, gender, disability or disease.



Old Age Homes

The old deserve to live the rest of their lives in comfort and dignity. MSS, Warora does its best to give our senior citizens the lives they deserve.

Sneh Savali is an old age home that also takes responsibility for the bedridden. All the resident’s needs including and not limited to medicine, residence, food etc. are taken care of here. Snehsavali includes 4 buildings that follow a simple and pleasing pattern of comfortable individual rooms (some for men and some for women) and a garden in the middle of the building for the residents to enjoy. Baba Amte and Sadhana Tai came here everyday to meet and talk to the residents. To this day, Dr.Vikas Amte and his family, 3 generations after Baba meet the patients regularly.

This was the first commune established in Anandwan. The communes here were designed for the rehabilitated leprosy-afflicted and disabled people. Baba had arranged for two young couples and one older couple to stay in one home thus forming a traditional Indian joint-family. This way, family relations could be preserved and understood by those who were otherwise disowned by their blood relatives outside Anandwan. The joint-family structure ensures that the older couple can be taken care of by their “children”.

Hostels

MSS, Warora believes in being there for those who have no- one. Gokul was established so orphaned children will have a home to call their own.

When the children grow up, MSS, Warora also takes responsibility of rehabilitating these children into society and ensuring their well-being.

MSS, Warora has always worked towards the betterment of society. An effort to encourage the unemployed youth in the area to get training here and take their skills and knowledge to their own village became very successful. It became necessary to provide these youth with a place to stay and grow.
