After working for about 9 years at Bhaje, SAMPARC™ realized that it is essential to replicate the residential child care program in other parts of the state with a view to reach many more disadvantaged children. The centre is located in the heart of Bandhan village, 15 km from Alibag & 124 km from Mumbai.

The Bandhan-Poynad Balgram (Children’s Home) was started in the year 1999. Dr. Kiran Mhatre from Poynad proposed to start SAMPARC™ Children’s Home to support the disadvantaged children of Raigad District in Maharashtra. In the first year the house was provided by his father in the same village. In the following year, SAMPARC™ shifted in one independent house where 30 children can easily be accommodated. Near this setup, SAMPARC™ procured a piece of plot, on which four houses have been constructed with a view to accommodate 50 children. At present there are 50 children residing in the bal gram and another 30 children can still be accommodated in the house. 

SAMPARC™ Bandhan-Poynad Balsadan is a Licensed Children’s Home under the Department of Women & Child Welfare, Government of Maharashtra for the care of orphan and disadvantaged children.

Under the leadership of Mr Satish Chabukswar - Project Incharge, Counselor and 4 housemothers the children live in a homely atmosphere of care & support.
