Sri Shenbagavalli Ashram

“They felt pained whenever coming across children who were abused or neglected, and so decided to do something to help. The home strives to give proper care and education to poor and abandoned children.” The home was started in 1990 by Mr Veerasingam A/L Ponnusamy with the support from his family members and under the sheltered of “Persatuan Hindu Sangam Malaysia” Mr Veerasingam is the founder of this Ashram whose family lived in the home for past 50 years.

From beginning the founder took care two teenagers and five old folks. He slowly expanded the ashram’s with orphans children. In 2002, he registered the ashram with name called “Sri Shenbagavalli Ashram Berhad” with the Register of Company.

The Ashram’s was a small house and wooden set -up and surrounded by the houses Mr Veerasingam and his family members fully taking care this Ashram.

In the near future, Sri Shenbagavalli Ashram is to continue playing an important role in bringing and upgrade the orphans. They realize that there is still a lot to be achieved since there are millions of children in the country who do not have proper caring and left as orphans outside.

Debates and discussions are constantly underway among the volunteers about how we can make a greater impact on the situation. As part of this learning process, the team and committee members are working closely with authority to acquire the land for developing their vision. The future holds even more significant challenges for all of the children at Ashram. It is more important than ever that every
concerned person pool in his efforts and start working towards addressing these challenges.

The Ashram is currently taking every single step to upgrade their services and contribution to their orphans.
