Street Providence Trust Opens 15th Shelter Home in Kankavli, Sindhudurg

A Haven for 50 Homeless Men with Mental Disabilities

Kankavli, Sindhudurg | June 2025:
In a significant step towards expanding its mission of serving the most vulnerable, Street Providence Trust has inaugurated its 15th shelter home, located in Kankavli, a town in Maharashtra’s Sindhudurg district. The new facility is dedicated to the care, rehabilitation, and reintegration of 50 homeless men suffering from mental disabilities.

Known for its compassionate work across Goa and neighboring states, Street Providence Trust continues to provide critical services to the mentally ill and destitute—individuals often neglected by society and left to suffer on the streets.

🧠 A Lifeline for the Mentally Ill

The newly launched home in Kankavli is equipped to offer:

  • Safe and hygienic accommodation
  • Nutritious meals
  • Basic medical care and psychiatric support
  • Rehabilitation programs aimed at reintegration

With a team of trained caregivers, medical professionals, and volunteers, the facility ensures that residents receive dignified, structured care that helps them regain a sense of identity and stability.

🤝 A Growing Network of Compassion

This shelter is the 15th facility set up by Street Providence Trust, which has consistently worked toward addressing the intersection of homelessness, mental health, and poverty. Their model blends humanitarian outreach with structured recovery programs, enabling many to re-enter society or reconnect with their families.

“There is a deep, unmet need in our society to care for the mentally ill poor who are often invisible. With each shelter we open, we try to bring hope where it was once lost,” said Donald Fernandes, founder of Street Providence Trust.

📍 Why Kankavli?

Kankavli, situated in the Sindhudurg district of Maharashtra, borders Goa and has witnessed increasing numbers of mentally challenged individuals without support systems. The strategic location of the shelter will serve not only local residents but also those from surrounding rural and coastal regions who have little or no access to mental health care.

❤️ Community Support & Volunteerism

Street Providence’s work thrives on public goodwill and donations, both material and monetary. The organization continues to appeal to local communities for support, volunteers, and collaboration, as the shelter moves from inauguration to full capacity.

Those interested in contributing can reach out via the trust’s official website or social media platforms.

📢 About Street Providence Trust

Street Providence is a Goa-based registered charity focused on mental health, homelessness, and hunger relief. Since its inception, it has become a beacon of hope for hundreds, building shelters, providing free food and medication, and working alongside government and non-governmental agencies.
