Nirmal Hriday Delhi, Mother Teresa’s Home For The Dying

Many of us are familiar with Mother Teresa’s Nirmal Hriday in Kolkatta. Few of us are aware that Missionaries of Charity has a fully operational branch of Nirmal Hriday in Delhi as well. As of date, the construction for a bigger and better housing facility is taking place at the Delhi center.

How can you help or support:

Nirmal Hriday and many such NGO’s rely on the monetary and item contributions made by warm hearted individuals like you. You can make money contributions. You can also contribute things required for everyday use like clothes, utensils or beddings. The things may be new or used.

How to contribute:

Just visit the center, inform the Sister incharge that you are here to make a contribution. She will ask your name and the things/amount you wish to contribute with a genuine smile. Is it is a cash contribution then she will give you a receipt. The money is used for meeting the day today’s expenses of Nirmal Hriday. The amount, be it big or small, will help the organization provide a better life to someone. If you are contributing things then the receipt is irrelevant.

Sponsor a meal:

You can also sponsor one time meal for the people staying there. You have to inform the sister the day on which you would like to sponsor the meal. usually, people sponsor meals on special days like their child’s birthday or their parent’s death anniversary. And I think it is a great way to celebrate important events in ones life. But let me tell you one thing, the dates for sponsored meals are booked days in advance. It costs Rs 2000 to sponsor a meal as of date.

Volunteer:

I heard that one can volunteer at Nirmal Hriday, however, I am not fully aware of the details. I will update this information very soon.
