AGAPE SANJEEVAN
SITUATED IN THE HEART OF MUMBAI CITY, THE AGAPE SANJEEVANI DROP-IN-CENTRE IS A PLACE OF REST, REJUVENATION AND REVIVAL FOR HOMELESS SUFFERERS IN DISTRESS.
SANJEEVAN IS A SANSKRIT WORD THAT MEANS REVIVAL. MANY OF THE PERSONS WE FIND ON STREETS ARE DESTITUTE AND ARE FOUND IN A HOPELESS STATE LITERALLY ON THE VERGE OF DYING. AFTER IMCARES TEAM MEMBERS FIND THESE PRECIOUS PERSONS AND CARE FOR THEM THE DROP-IN-CENTRE APTLY CALLED THE AGAPE SANJIVANI KENDRA BECOMES A PLACE OF REVIVAL.
OPEN ALL DAY THE DROP-IN-CENTRE SITUATED IN THE IMCARES HEAD OFFICE IN SOUTH MUMBAI SEES PEOPLE WALKING IN JUST TO HAVE A WASH, A CUP OF HOT TEA/MEAL AND A PLACE TO REST FOR A COUPLE OF HOURS. ONCE IN THE CENTRE THEY ALSO RECEIVE COUNSELLING, PRAYERS AND FRIENDS.
A WEEKLY MEDICAL CLINIC IS CONDUCTED ESPECIALLY FOR PERSONS LIVING ON THE STREETS AND THOSE ON ANTI-RETROVIRAL DRUGS FOR HIV AND TB MEDICATION. THE CLINIC WELL EQUIPPED WITH A MEDICAL DOCTOR AND COUNSELLORS HELP IN MONITORING THE PATIENTS PROGRESS.
