Jeevodaya in Sanskrit means "Rising Life". It determines that even in the most difficult of circumstances, grim situations every life has the right to prosper, blossom to its highest potential.
Jeevodaya is an apolitical, not-for-profit organization founded by Sr. Clara in the year 1999 in Itarsi, Madhya Pradesh, India. While travelling she often witnessed children living in vulnerable conditions susceptible to exploitation from both railway authorities who victimize them for any crime that occurs on the platform and other illegal assailants who use their defenselessness to exploit and harass them both physically and psychologically.
Jeevodaya in Sanskrit means "Rising Life". It determines that even in the most difficult of circumstances, grim situations every life has the right to prosper, blossom to its highest potential. With the same mission and vision we at Jeevodaya work for the upliftment of every child who is disadvantaged for the social bias and injustice that they face in their everyday lives. With primary objective to rescue and provide care and support to the runaway and homeless children who finally takes refuge to the difficult living conditions of the railway station, Jeevodaya collaborating with West Central Railway and Women's Welfare Organization started providing support to the neglected children since 1999, to both young and adolescents who needed immediate attention, care and support. With our experience we learnt that children could not be rehabilitated back until their mothers are not included in the change process and until the family is provided with sustainable livelihood opportunities. We took responsibilities in uplifting these less privileged lives that we care most as it was important for us to provide a 360 degree holistic approach towards the issue.
