BERHAMPUR

The Ashram at Berhampur is run entirely by nuns.

Among its welfare activities is a homeopathic charitable dispensary. A doctor attends once a week and the nuns take care of the petients coming on other days. The dispensary attracts around 40-50 patients a week.

The Ashram sub-centre runs a primary school (upto class IV) where 60 - 70 pupils study. Books and other study materials are provided by the Ashram. The pupils are provided tiffin and free clothes.

A tailoring unit has been started where vocational employment is provided to local women from economically backward sections.

Relief work was taken up by providing food and temporary lodging during the floods which ravaged the area in the year 2001.
