About Us

Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, the beginning of the Unicorn Child Development Center was a response driven by a profound awareness of its extensive effect on countless lives. Notably, the difficulty of underprivileged children lacking proper shelter has been magnified. Recent data from India exposes a staggering figure of over 7000 children who have either been abandoned. This dire situation not only compromises their physical well-being due to insufficient nourishment but also has a detrimental impact on their mental health, potentially propelling them towards harmful behaviors.

In light of these formidable challenges, we have taken modest yet impactful steps in creating a nurturing and environmentally conscious haven for children at our Unicorn facility in Pune. Currently, our Child Development Center offers solace to 31 young individuals who have encountered early-life adversity. Guided by the caring embrace of Unicorn, their fundamental requirements are attended to with diligence. Furthermore, our commitment extends to the establishment of an additional branch of Unicorn.

Unicorn symbolizes more than just a shelter; it symbolizes home for these young spirits. Within its encompassing care, they not only discover a sense of security but also the liberty to savor their childhood and embrace life wholeheartedly. Similarly, our Unicorn Child Development Center in Pune presently houses 31 children, with the capacity to welcome 35 or even more, ensuring a future that is secure and unburdened for each of them.

Vision

Imagining a world where no children are deprived of opportunities, our aim is to mend families, uplift the underprivileged with hope and chances, and amplify the voices of every child.

Mission

Unicorn is dedicated to standing alongside children in need with an unshakeable sense of love, happiness, and positive outlook. Our mission revolves around establishing a safe sanctuary, encouraging the healing of previous hurts, kindling the spark of optimism, and cultivating self-confidence.

Philosophy

Central to our principles is the firm belief that every child should have the opportunity to experience comprehensive development that covers the physical, emotional, cultural, and spiritual aspects, similar to the nurturing environment of a family.



PROBLEM

In the modern era, an increasing number of children are confronted with the harsh reality of being separated from their families. This situation arises due to various factors, such as the aftermath of the Corona pandemic, family conflicts, natural disasters, economic struggles, and parental abandonment. As a result, children become trapped in distressing situations that encompass both physical and psychological mistreatment, ultimately robbing them of the joy of their early years. Of particular concern is the interaction between poverty and compromised health, which worsens the situation. The accumulating difficulties, including limited access to education, inadequate healthcare, societal bias, and isolation, cast persistent shadows over their lives. These challenges have a lasting impact, extending well into their adulthood and often creating fertile ground for involvement in various criminal activities. At the core of Unicorn's values is the recognition that each arriving child has a unique life story. While inherent innocence is a defining aspect of childhood, exposure to an unfavorable environment poses significant risks to their personal growth and overall well-being.

SOLUTIONS

Our current perspective highlights a committed and efficient effort in progress. The establishment of a child development center has become essential, with the goal of creating a deep and long-lasting positive effect on individuals, nurturing their path towards becoming outstanding individuals. This center will provide a wide range of comprehensive amenities for children, covering vital aspects such as nutrition, both formal and informal learning, vocational instruction, psychological guidance, commemoration of significant national occasions and cultural celebrations, sports engagements, life skills instruction, as well as healthcare services, spanning both preventive measures and treatment. We strongly believe in our ability to aid children dealing with the aftermath of conflicts. Similarly, through our sponsorship and generous donations, we are encouraging enduring changes in the lives of the children at Unicorn. This support grants them invaluable access to crucial healthcare initiatives, necessary medications, and early education encompassing subjects like cleanliness and nourishment, sparking a significant and enduring influence.
