To restore the identity, dignity and self-esteem of the destitute people and help them reconnect with their families or society.

To create awareness and sensitization among the public and authorities about the plight and rights of the destitute people and advocate for their welfare and inclusion.

An interactive platform for destitute and orphanages: Even if we combine an old age home with an orphanage, we need to have a planned space or platform where they both can interact. We can’t always put both the generations together as they have different priorities.

Careful planning of spaces: It might happen that some of the elder people may have some contagious diseases. Hence, they have to be isolated from the children. Therefore, careful planning is required so that spaces are segregated but are not isolated.

Differently abled: It may happen that some of the elder people are differently able and hence need to be catered. And not just elder people also the children could be differently abled. So the building should be responsive to such kind of people.
