Snehalaya’ a ‘House of Love’ is an initiative to provide a home for children in need of care and protection. It was officially launched by the ‘Salesians of Don Bosco’ Northeast India on 16th August, 2000 on the 185th birth anniversary of St. John Bosco. However, Snehalaya became operational from January 1st 2001. Snehalaya was founded by Fr. Lukose Cheruvalel in Guwahati. Started as a small shelter home for boys; it has grown into a big tree with 5 Child Care Institutions (CCI) for both boys and girls. Taking the inspiration of St. John Bosco, the founder of Salesian Society, Snehalaya has varied supportive programmes to build the lives of poor and needy children.
