Our Work

Empowering communities through innovative and compassionate initiatives.

Birth Parent Child Admission BPCA

Birth Parent Child Admission BPCA

BSSK admits children from birth to 6 years through the Child Welfare Committee (CWC). The BPCA program supports birth parents, family members, and children who are surrendered, abandoned, or in temporary care.

Child Care

Child Care

Each child receives a customized plan tailored to their unique needs and circumstances. They are cared for in either group homes, where peers of similar ages are housed together, or through foster care placements.

Adoption Building Families

Adoption Building Families

“Building Families not Institutions” guides us. Our goal is to find permanent homes for orphaned and destitute children through Domestic and Inter-country Adoptions. We ensure transparent processes.

Education Support and Community Services

Education Support and Community Services

Poverty leads to drop-outs, destitution, and delinquency. Early education is crucial for a child’s future. BSSK supports children through educational programs, family assistance, and activities like literacy education.

Day Care

Day Care

Children thrive best in a safe, loving and caring environment especially in their respective birth families. The daycare initiative marks a shift in focus for BSSK, from providing institutional care to a home-based approach. Families are supported in their attempt to provide a nurturing environment for their children through this initiative.

Adoption Support services and comprehensive parental counseling at BSSK

Adoption Support

BSSK provides comprehensive adoption support services including counseling, placement support, and post-adoption assistance for families and children in need.

BSSK Outreach and Awareness sessions on child rights, adoption laws, and community support

Outreach & Awareness

BSSK regularly conducts programs for school/college students, corporate employees, donors, etc., on the work done at BSSK and how they can support us.
CCI Capacity Building: BSSK works with older children's institutions for early and permanent rehabilitation.
Quality Childcare Practices: In 2022, BSSK conducted an online session for childcare agencies across Maharashtra.
