Vaduz Home, Panvel

Vaduz Balika Ashram (Vaduz Home) is an offshoot of JVS, functioning as a home for girl children who are marginalized or from single-parent backgrounds. Inaugurated by Mr. Erich Orpelt and blessed by His Eminence Cardinal Simon Pimenta on November 21, 2004, the home is operated in partnership with the Franciscan Sisters of St. Joseph.

Starting with just six girls, all children are enrolled in English-medium schools with support from generous benefactors who cover fees, books, uniforms, and living expenses.

Florin Bal Ashram, Taloja

Commenced in March 2003, Florin Bal Ashram is run with the service of the Franciscan Missionaries of Christ the King (FMCK). The centre strengthens the ministry's mission to support street children and rag-pickers, helping them excel academically under the guidance of the resident sisters.
