Jeevan Prabhat: A Home of Love and Care

In the wake of the devastating earthquake on January 26, 2001, Arya Samaj Gandhidham launched Jeevan Prabhat, a sanctuary for earthquake orphans and other underprivileged children. This initiative is more than just a home—it is a place of hope, transformation, and opportunity.

At Jeevan Prabhat:

Every child is treated with the love and care they deserve, just like our own family.
Children are raised free of cost, with no discrimination based on caste, creed, or religion.
We ensure dignity and quality—accepting only new items for their needs, from clothes to educational materials.

Our focus is not just on providing necessities but on creating a nurturing environment where every child can thrive physically, emotionally, and intellectually.

Salient features of Jeevan Prabhat

We are rearing these children without the distinction of class, creed or religion. All the children are given same food, clothes and education. On seeing these children you cannot tell their Religion or Caste, or that they are orphans.
Just by seeing the faces of these children you can come to know of the happiness in their hearts, this is because these children are never made to wash utensils or clothes or made to clean the premises which is a regular practice in many other orphanages.
Only new clothes are given to the children. We do not accept old clothes for them.
These children are never served any leftover food from any parties, receptions etc.
We celebrate the birthday of each and every child every year. As is the practice in all the local schools these children also distribute chocolates to their classmates. The child is given a new dress as a birthday gift.
We have our own Gaushala (dairy) so that the children get pure milk to drink.
Each and every child is sent to school. We have also employed six teachers to help the children with their studies after they come back from school. Apart from extra studies and their homework these teachers also keep an eye and help them with their extra-curicular activities.
To boost the morale of the children and also their self confidence we never allow them to think of themselves as poor or lesser children.
Of the total budget 35% is spent on education and extra-curicular activities.
We never ask the school to waive the fees instead we ask donors to sponsor the education of the children.
The campus is spread over 4 acres of land and the building has all the amenities and is airy, neat and functional. On entering the premises you will be able to see the handicrafts and paintings made by the children displayed every where. There is also a well maintained garden for the children to play. The premises is approximately one lac sq.feet, constructed at an estimated cost of Rs. 8 crores. The complex and the garden have a total of about 400 neem trees and 3000 other plants and trees.
There is a computer class, library & reading room, music room, a meditation room, a room for indoor games and also a room for extra-curicular activities and handicrafts.
We have all types of staff to take care of the children. On an average there is one staff for every five children.
These children take part in many competitions and extra-curicular activities and also win many prizes.
There is a fix time table for the children to follow. The children get up at 5.30am and go to sleep at 9pm. Apart from modern education, moral values are also imbibed in them.
All the guests visiting the children are given accommodation on the campus so that they can observe the children and be with them continuously during their stay. We have made good air-conditioned rooms for the guests.
Jeevan Prabhat is giving employment to 40 people and thus is helping 40 families.
The children are given all types of variety food to eat. Year round many parties are organized by different people in the Jeevan Prabhat Complex and the children are also invited to many parties and receptions. No dish or preparation is untasted by them and they do not yearn for any food.
The children are taken for small picnics regularly and once a year in May-June they are taken for a 5-6 day picnic.
The children are allowed to watch TV for only 45 minutes a day and that too only selected channels.
To keep watch on the children we have installed CCTV in the whole campus.
The children are reared as industrious and totally disciplined. Apart from book knowledge we are also imbibing in them moral values, making them self confident and making them patriotic.
Every organization issues receipts for the financial donation received by them but we issue receipts even for donations received in kind and also ensure that they are distributed properly to the children.
Our whole management is transparent. Daily about 40 types of records are maintained and checked.
We have taken the responsibility of the boys till they are able to stand on their own feet and that of the girls till their marriage. Arya Samaj will also bear the responsibility of the marriage of the girls.
The children have met many National level personalities and taken their blessings.
The I.Q. level of the children is good and they are full of self confidence. We are sure this children will be model citizens of Mother India and bring laurels.

A Journey of Transformation: From Orphans to Achievers

It is heartbreaking that these children have lost their parents, but their admission into Jeevan Prabhat has opened doors to opportunities that might never have been possible otherwise. Had their parents been alive, these children may not have achieved the level of success and growth they now enjoy. Without the support and care provided by Jeevan Prabhat, many of these children could have been left vulnerable—wandering aimlessly, falling into despair, or even becoming victims of anti-social influences.

At Jeevan Prabhat, we are committed to shaping these children’s futures with clear goals and unwavering dedication. Nurturing them is no small task; as anyone knows, even raising two children at home requires constant effort. Here, we are polishing these “raw diamonds” with round-the-clock care and attention, transforming their lives into ones filled with promise and potential.

This monumental responsibility is carried out by the devoted members, office bearers, and staff of Arya Samaj. It is a 24/7, year-round commitment that requires immense effort, compassion, and perseverance. We are fortunate to have donors from around the world contributing to this mission and helping us shoulder this tremendous responsibility.

We do not accept government grants or maintain fixed deposits for generating interest income. Instead, we rely entirely on the generous contributions of individuals and organizations who believe in our cause. Unlike other initiatives, we do not go door-to-door seeking donations. Our work speaks for itself, inspiring supporters to step forward voluntarily.

Running Jeevan Prabhat costs over ₹15,000 per day, and every rupee is utilized for the betterment of the children. These contributions go directly toward their education, food, shelter, and holistic development.

Gratitude and Appeal

We are deeply grateful to all our donors who have made this work possible. Your kindness and support are the lifeline for these children. We humbly request you to continue your contributions, no matter how small or big, as every donation plays a crucial role in improving their lives.

If God has blessed you with the means, we urge you to share those blessings with these children who depend on us for their future. Please also encourage your friends and family to contribute to this noble cause.
