Across our streets, abandoned elders spend their final years in loneliness, and children from slums grow up without care or guidance. The Child Educational Trust believes that both deserve more than survival — they deserve family, love, and dignity. This belief gave birth to our dream of building an Ashram: not just a shelter, but a home where the old and young can live together, sharing warmth, meals, and memories.
“A society’s greatness is measured not by its wealth but by how it treats its weakest.”
Child Educational Trust
India’s cities are full of people left behind — elderly without support and children without direction. For many elders, old age means sleeping on pavements, begging for food, and dying in silence. For children, it means growing up without books, safety, or guidance. The Ashram project by the Child Educational Trust addresses both these needs in one space, creating a family-like environment where loneliness is replaced by companionship and despair is replaced by hope.
The Ashram is designed to be more than a building. It will be a space where elders and children care for one another. Elders will find comfort in the laughter of children, while children will learn values, culture, and resilience from elders. With proper meals, clean clothing, and safe shelter, dignity will be restored to lives that society often forgets. This intergenerational family is at the heart of the vision that drives the Child Educational Trust.
The Ashram will include clean dormitories, a community kitchen serving fresh food daily, classrooms for education, and a small medical center for health support. Science kits, modern learning tools, and play areas will ensure children do not just learn but thrive. Elders will receive healthcare, companionship, and respect. With solar panels, dining facilities, and beds for comfort, the Ashram will embody sustainability as well as humanity.
