The Home, built in 1944, is in a pretty dilapidated state. It required urgent funding to take care of some of the renovations. Asha CNJ has pledged its support to STCH by promising a better a life for the girls. The initial step in this being to take care of the needs of the building of the Home. The next step is to support some kind of an initiative to provide vocational training for these girls. This will help them become independent, and teach them self-sustenance, once they leave the Home at the age of 18 years.

The 'Save The Children Home' located at Thakurpukur in the suburbs of Calcutta is one of the six homes which 'Save The Children Committee' runs in and around West Bengal. The Home houses about 170 girls their ages ranging between 5 and 18 yrs. The Home has 6 large rooms where the girls reside. One of the rooms has been converted into a multipurpose room, which is used for classroom and entertainment purposes.
