About this facility
- Mission
- To directly improve the lives of exploited, at-risk, destitute children and the forgotten, suffering elderly, enabling them to become "beacons of light" and share the same gifts of peace, goodwill, and generosity with others for the rest of their lifetimes. We help the poorest and neediest children and elderly, and the forgotten destitute, with the basic human needs: food, shelter, medical services and educational assistance. As we believe that every human can and should stand on his/her own, we are there to help the destitute begin to help themselves.

Operation Shanti Envisions...
A world in which the poor are given the opportunity to reach their full potential in life.
Spreading peace, goodwill, and hope throughout our world by helping the poorest and neediest gain status and their rightful place in their societies is the vision of Operation Shanti. Often, the poor are robbed of their human rights, are discarded, treated inhumanely, or are ignored. The ultimate goal of our work strives to give the poor back their rights as human beings.
We help break the cycle of poverty for destitute kids. To do this, we also help their moms and grannies who were more often than not abandoned by their husbands. Our women and children live on city streets and in villages. They are kicked out of their houses because they can't earn enough to pay rent, and typically earn just enough for their daily food.
Their Programs:
Street People Program: Resources for kids and moms living on the street. We help 30-40 kids, moms, and elderly everyday.
Karunya Mane: A safe haven for destitute kids and the elderly. Estimated opening year-end 2007.
Education Initiatives: Schooling, school supplies, tutoring for difficult to place children.
Project Food: Over 200 hot and nutritious weekly meals, daily dietary supplements and vitamins for the malnourished.
Project Blesssed Hope: Medical assistance for everything from sore throats to pregnancies to tuberculosis and HIV/AIDS care.
