Vision The Banyan believes in the rights of the completely marginalized sections of society – to live and to be. Our vision is for a just society in which the rights and needs of the completely marginalized are addressed without exception. We will achieve this by acting as a catalyst to increase awareness & acceptance of the issues, creating the momentum for Government and Society to develop appropriate responses. But the Banyan cannot do it alone. The goal of Friends Of The Banyan is thus to provide the urgent resources in the form of funds, medical supplies, clothes, blankets etc needed for the nearly 300 women living at Adaikalam, Banyan’s medical facility/residence. The funds will help provide them with the basic necessities of life along with the rehabilitation process back to their families. You can help in many ways. Make a contribution.
