Amcha Ghar

Amcha Ghar is a NGO that provides a residential home for orphaned and semi-orphaned girls from the streets of Mumbai. In the 1990s, Agatha Susheela Dias and Anthony Dias were worked as a social worker in the streets of Mumbai. In 1995, they rescued a sexually exploited girl from the Mumbai Street, only to discover that no institutions would take her because she was not an orphan. They realized that no home catered to semi-orphan girl child or to those living in vulnerable situations.

On April 14, 1996 in Uttan village at Bhayander, a committed team of social workers, attorneys, doctors, and well wishers joined Mr. and Mrs. Dias to give birth to Amcha Ghar. Starting off with providing a home to three girls, It has grown to a place that is now home to 25 girls and still growing. Since many years It also offers education to roughly 500 students in the Amcha Ghar School. They rehabilitated many girls for higher studies, working and their marriage.
