To create a support system for the needy senior citizens to live a respectable, satisfying, quality life by filling the gaps with the contribution of change makers for achievement of empathetic holistic wellbeing. To build a better today and tomorrow by sheltering the under cared physically challenged, mentally unstable, morally collapsed, differently abled children who are either abandoned, lost or belong to helpless family by tailoring nutrition, hygiene and skill development making them self-reliable, securing their future.
The vision of our founder and the passion, able guidance and sheer dedication of the present leadership, has ensured that SMIT goes from strength to strength. We understand the deepest needs of our residents. The trio of iron ladies managing affairs of SMIT not only understand but also relate incredibly well to the feelings of being unwanted, the sadness felt at being left out.
We know what being lonely and helpless means. We know that providing a bed to sleep on and three meals a day isn’t enough- even though it is necessary. Being attentive to the emotional as well as psychological well-being of the elderly while taking care of their health and comfort is among our top priorities.
SMIT believes in giving all residents a family. A circle of friends. A group of people with whom they can share the life they led, the mistakes they made, the times when they laughed
