Vittorio Verzura addressing the United Nations Human Rights Council

We are pleased to inform you that, Maher has been granted special consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (UN - ECOSOC) in May 2017. This means that we can actively engage with ECOSOC and its subsidiary bodies, as well as with the United Nations Secretariat programs, funds, and agencies in several ways. This means a lot to us and we are happy to share our joy with friends like you.

Mr Vittorio Verzura, second from the right, representing Maher at the UN-Ecosoc meeting on human rights.

 

“Maher” (in the Marathi language) means “Mother’s Home”: a haven of hope, belonging and understanding. Our mission is to help destitute women, children and men from all over India exercise their right to a higher quality of life, irrespective of gender, caste, creed or religion.

        Hello,

        am Kathrin Schmidt from Northern Germany.
        I write cause there is urgend need to help a afghan mother (36) with her 8 children( 2-14 years) . Her husband, a policechef, was killed in August 2019 in Kabul, and the family is in very danger to be killed, too. No work, no school, no money ,no going out of house.
        Is there any possibility that she can come and life in one of your homes?
        We, a little group, tried to give help inside of Afghanistan, but did totaly not succsseed,yet.
        It is urgend.

    What a well deserved and timely honor. May all be served by this status. I trust those at the United Nations will be inspired and nourished by the loving way in which all is planned and offered at Maher under the guidance of beloved Sr Lucy. Love to my Maher family.

    Today I have seen one old lady sleeping on footpath asking for food or help. I saw her and felt very bad for her, I gave her couple of biscuit packs and milk packet. But I know this is not enough though she deservs good care and that’s the reason I am asking your help. Please help her. I can give you location where she used to stay on footpath. She stays near Dange Chowk, Datt Mandir road, next to Vatsalya Hospital building.
