Community buildings and shelter

Programmes that run out of borrowed rooms stop when the room is needed for something else. Owning the building is what turns a camp into a service.

We build and equip the premises our own programmes need — training centres, clinics, hostels, shelters, gaushala sheds — and community amenities that nobody else will fund, like toilet blocks and water points in bastis.

Construction is a means, never a business. We do not develop or trade property, and every structure is held for charitable use.

How the programme works

  • Buildings for our own programmes and for community amenities
  • Disaster-resilient and low-cost methods, especially in flood zones
  • Toilet blocks, water points and sanitation where nobody else will fund them
  • No property development or trading — construction is for charitable use only

What your donation buys

  • ₹50,000A toilet block with water for one settlement
  • ₹4,00,000A single-room training centre, built and equipped
  • ₹15,00,000A clinic building with consulting and dispensing rooms

Questions about this programme

Do you build houses for individual families?

We support low-cost and transit housing as a community programme, usually after a disaster or a resettlement, rather than building for individual applicants.

Can I donate land or a building to the foundation?

Yes, and it is one of the most useful gifts we receive. Write to us and we will handle the valuation, title check and transfer, and confirm what tax treatment applies.
