Anath Ashram in Ahmedabad, Orphanage Homes in Ahmedabad, and Shaksham Foundation support children by providing for their care, housing, and education.

An orphanage is a residential institution devoted to the care of orphans or Semi-Orphans children whose biological parents are deceased or otherwise unable or unwilling to care for them. Biological parents, and sometimes biological grandparents, are legally responsible for supporting children, but in the absence of these or other relatives willing to care for the children, they become wards of the state, and orphanages are one way of providing for their care, housing, and education.

An orphan is a child whose parents are dead and have abandoned them permanently. In common usage, only a child who has lost both parents is called an orphan. When a child loses his father or mother or both, the future of the child becomes uncertain. Food crises, extreme impoverishment, natural calamities, shortage of rainfall, malaria, and AIDS are some of the factors contributing to the distressed condition of the people of the country. Street children are a term used to refer to children who live on the street. They are deprived of family care and protection. Street children live in Railway Stations, slums, shops, bus stands, under the Railway Bridges etc.

Shaksham Foundation is planning to offer shelter to the distraught kids who grew up in tough situations that separated them from the happiness of a family in their early days. These orphans need affection, attention, kindness, and edification. The orphans in India are plagued by many issues like maltreatment, child labor, gender bias, trafficking, HIV / AIDS, health issues, homelessness, and impoverishment. Shaksham Foundation will recognize the need of the hour and the requirements of orphan children for their Holistic Development. These unfortunate children are deprived and neglected by society to bring them into the mainstream of society.
