Small Homes, Big Dreams
Bangalore’s rapid growth has attracted many rural families seeking better jobs. However, many end up homeless or in temporary shelters, struggling with urban poverty. Their children face serious risks, including neglect, abuse, and lack of education.
To help these vulnerable children, Casa Foundation, in partnership with Dream India Network (DIN), has set up over 20 small foster homes in Bangalore and Mysore, providing shelter to 160 children. Each home accommodates 8 children, offering a safe and family-like environment where they can grow and thrive.
Children in the program attend English-medium schools and receive help with their studies. Regular medical check-ups ensure their well-being. They also participate in sports, arts, games, and educational trips, encouraging creativity and confidence. Volunteers often engage with them, making learning fun and interactive.
This initiative gives these children not just a home, but a chance for a brighter future.


The local community is strongly involved in this program but it takes time to make the home financially independent and we need external funding for the first years.
