An orphanage in not a mere institution; it is home to the children who spend much of their growing up years in it. It is where they learn to bond, share and care. Where they form their first families, build memories and imbibe values for life.

At Planet Mars Foundation, we have always looked to create a happy and wholesome life for every orphan girl, just as a caring and informed parent would do. Apart from accommodation, food and schooling, we invest in building life skills, identifying and honing individual talent, and ensuring the overall physical and emotional wellbeing of every girl.


Girls at our orphanage are encouraged to learn Karate from professional trainers and many of them win regularly at district and State level competitions. We also enroll interested girls to classical dance and music lessons apart from conducting regular theatre workshops at our shelter. In fact, they participate in local events and performing arts contests, bringing home trophies and laurels. Regular health checkups, eye camps, life skills workshops and motivation talks are some other events that fill our calendar.
