Who We Are
Shubadha Trust was registered in 1978. It was founded by a group of Christian women Philanthropists, of Mangalore namely Ms Celine Aranha, Ms Olinda Pereira, and Ms Sylvia Saldanha. Its developmental story is intermingled with the lives of these committed women and many others who are entrusted with the marginalized sections of the society. Shubadha Society was registered in 1986 to respond to the specific needs of women especially the women in distress.
This institution aims at caring for women who are in situations of crisis and suffer from violence in the family and society. They are given shelter, counselling, legal aid and assistance for reconciliation with the family. Shubadha also helps to rehabilitate some of them to give them a better future.
