JANASEVA SISUBHAVAN
Every day and night lakhs of children in our country are forced to live in the streets, denied of their fundamental right to the basic human necessities such as food, shelter and education, and subjected to physical abuse as well as forced to do begging, pick pocketing, street circus, hard work and other forms of exploitation. The streets of India still reverberate the cries of human rights violations. Even decades after we attained independence, the poor becomes poorer.
It is with a view to put an end to this social evil that “Janaseva Sisubhavan” was started as a popular movement, with Justice V.R. Krishna Iyer as its chief PATRON. Our very existence and functioning is made possible with the kind, whole hearted support and co-operation extended to us by the noble kind hearted people from every walk of life, without any bar to caste, religion or politics. Our aim is to wipe off child begging, and to create an “India without street children”.
During the past seven years Sisubhavan was able to rescue more than 1000 children from the streets and to provide them with love, care and protection, including good food, shelter, education, medical help etc. This institution is now the ‘Tharavadu’(Parental Home) for all these children, where they can run into in times of both happiness and grief. With our earnestness and sincerity, we at Sisubhavan, take up the responsibility of taking care of these neglected, abandoned children, protecting them and bringing them up as self-supporting, confident well-mannered individuals, contributing their best to the society. |

Our Mission
Our Mission is to find out destitute children abducted by the begger mafia, bring them to our shelter and provide them a meaningful life full of love and affection. These unscrupulous people resort to inhuman acts like dismembering them, creating burns, piercing their eyes and such ghastly acts, they think, would render the children suitable for begging. The poor kids suffer ruthless punishments even for sight decrease in their daily collections. To give these children back there basic human rights a Child Begging Eradication Committee was constituted. |

Jose Maveli, The President, Janaseva Sisubhavan
An India without any street children, that’s the vision of Mr. Jose Maveli, the founder and president of Janaseva Sisubhavan. He believes that the street children are our own children, and to save and protect them and give them a home is our duty.
Mr. Jose Maveli, born as the 7th child out of 10 to Thomas and Eliya was born on 1951 at Edakkunnu, a small village in the Karukutti Panchayat of Eranakulam District, Kerala. All thru his educational days and later in life he became a big humanitarian, and would interfere in social activities to help others. |
In 1996 he assembled some like minded people to form an organization called Aluva Janaseva with the then District Collector Mr. A. R. Rajan IAS as the Patron and himself as the President. The first step of the organization was to provide scholarships and educational materials to the children from poor families. In 1997, the organization started to give out lunch to about 300 children who couldn’t have food because of their poverty. The project was spread to several schools and in time more than 600 students were given food everyday.
In 1999 he was able to start his dream project, the Janaseva Sisubhavan, the organization to save and protect street children. The then Hon. Governor of Kerala, Shri. Sukhdev Singh Kang inaugurated the first project and with the help of thousands of people it grew into a big organization now.
More than a thousand street children was saved by the interference of Janaseva Sisubhavan, and is under their protection. Mr. Maveli has started several projects like Janaseva English Medium School, Janaseva Boys Home, Janaseva Senior Boys Education Project and Street India Movement.
He has received innumerable number of awards for the services he rendered to the society. |
