An Appeal

Since its inception, The Banyan has reached out to over 1500 women in need and rehabilitated over 850 wandering individuals struggling with mental illness. The road to success has not been plain sailing, challenged by constant financial struggle to cover the average monthly expenses of Rs. 15 lakhs to run the organisation. We are infinitely grateful to the countless warm-hearted people that have supported us throughout our journey and made our dream come true - making it possible for us to provide refuge to wandering mentally ill women and to advocate their legitimate right to exist in society. However, to be able to maintain an equally high quality service and special care for all our residents, we will continue to rely on the support from donors and dedicated individuals. With almost 400 women being housed at our shelter, the increasing need for mental health care is hitting our financial, spatial and manpower resources. We will need more help than ever in making a difference to the lives of women who until recently had less than nothing.

Please join us in our mission to generate wellbeing in one of the most marginalised sections of society.
