Dream 1994

In 1994, to commemorate the occasion of the 150th Anniversary of the MSFS Congregation, the province felt the need to establish a worthwhile memorial. As a result of many hands and heads working together, something unique was dreamt of i.e. to work for the welfare of children who are differently-abled.

ACTUALISATION THE DREAM

ACTUALISATION THE DREAM 1995 In order to actualize this dream, Snehalaya was built to accommodate about 70 physically challenged children between the age group of 5 and 18 from all sections of society, especially the poor from rural areas, beyond the barriers of caste, gender and religion.

THE GREAT BEGINNING 1996

First On the 5th of June 1996, the Institute began its service with 13 polio affected children under the direction of Fr. Joseph Malayil, msfs, the st Director of Snehalaya. Sr. Celine Coelho, the Superior General of the Sisters of the (FMCK) graciously sent sisters to administer the Institute in all aspects.

THE SHIFT 2001

After few years of dedicated service to the polio affected children, from the year 2001 the target group has been shifted to children with Cerebral Palsy and multiple disabilities. Currently Snehalaya caters to 85 boys and girls between the age group of 6 to 24 with cerebral palsy and multiple disabilities.

From last 25 years Snehalaya has selflessly contributed towards the growth and development of numerous children and persons with Multiple Disabilities. We are looking forward to continue our services with more enthusiasm and commitment to make a better place for the differently abled.
