THE BACKDROP:

It is indeed terrible when you have to grow up without the care and love of your parents. This campaign is about giving such girls hope, support, and a chance at rebuilding their lives. Located in Devanahalli Taluk, Bengaluru (18 km from the airport) is a home called Makkala Dhama. They take care of these girls and give them a safe and secure environment to grow and build their lives.

There are currently 273 girls who live here (as of June 2026). Many of them have lost one or both parents during COVID, have been abandoned by their families, or have simply been found wandering on the road somewhere. These girls need our support and love to grow into independent adults. They have dreams and ambitions, just like us. Your support of this campaign will help them realize their dreams and give them a secure future.

THE INITIATIVE:

Makkala Dhama, a home run by Sparsha Trust, is a multi-dimensional state-of-the-art residential home (which can house 450 girls) for 273 girls in Devanahalli Taluk, Bengaluru. This shelter home will give them much-needed comfort and will help them grow into independent adults. All their daily needs and expenses are taken care of. The built-up area is 54000 sq. ft and is equipped with a wide range of amenities.

At Makkala Dhama, the stay, food, medical care, clothes, stationery, and after-school classes are all taken care of. They also have a library, computer labs, play areas, etc. Excursions and monthly trips are also organized. The cost of all this is just INR 3333 per month.

THE IMPACT YOU CAN MAKE:

ABOUT ME:

My name is Yashita Patil. I am 16-years old and a Grade 11 student at DPS E-City, Bengaluru.

This campaign is extremely close to my heart. I have taken up this initiative because I think being able to impact the lives of young girls who are abandoned/ without a bread winner would be incredible. These girls have no one to look after them. Makkala Dhama will transform their lives as they grow up in a secure environment that will help them focus on their studies. At Makkala Dhama, girls are provided with accommodation, food, clothing, medical care, stationery, books, etc. They attend nearby schools.

The cost to impact a girl for a month is just INR 3333. At Makkala Dhama they are provided with all the necessary facilities to help them grow up into independent and responsible adults. The funds raised through this campaign will definitely help them and in the process give them hope and comfort and will positively impact their lives.

Please support my campaign so that we can come together and support these girls and change their lives for the better.
