About Chirayu Home

A home built on compassion

A community of dreamers, doers and everyday changemakers working to nurture lives with dignity across India since 2013.

Our story

Our Story

Rooted in compassion, built with community

Chirayu Home began in 2013 as a small circle of neighbours who believed that consistent, caring action can transform lives. What started with weekend visits to families in need has grown into a multi-programme trust serving thousands each year.

From day one, our work has been guided by a simple principle: meet people where they are, listen deeply, and walk alongside them. Every meal, every classroom, every workshop is shaped by the voices of the people we serve.

Today, Chirayu Home is a home in the truest sense — a warm, welcoming space where volunteers, beneficiaries and partners build something lasting together.

Founder's Message

"We do not run programmes. We build relationships. Every family we meet becomes a part of the Chirayu Home story — and that story continues to write itself in acts of quiet kindness."

Smt. Anjali Verma
Founder & Chairperson

Chairman's Message

"A trust is only as strong as the trust it inspires. For over a decade we have honoured that responsibility with transparency, humility and a relentless focus on the communities we serve."
