Who we are

In the heart of every woman, man and child is hunger for home. Not just for food and a place to sleep, but for safety and community. Most importantly: for love. At the Maher, 30 km from Pune in the village of Koregaon Bhima, we are much more than a home for women, men, and children from difficult and desperate circumstances.

We are a family, where love guides us all as we grow and expand year after year. Take a look around and if you have any questions, contact us via the menu above!

🌿💛 A Special Moment at Maher Men’s Home 💛🌿

The men at Maher — homeless, destitute, and mentally disturbed — have recently begun a small gardening activity. Today, with great joy, they offered the first fruits of their harvest to our beloved Sr. Lucy Kurien (Didi), our Founder-Director. 🍋🌱

Didi, who loves home-grown vegetables and fruits, received their offering with deep affection and encouragement. This simple act has brought them confidence, happiness, and a renewed sense of purpose. 🌼
