Shelter for Cancer Patients in Mumbai
The Crisis
Every day, thousands of cancer patients from across India—and even neighboring countries—arrive in Mumbai to seek life-saving treatment at Tata Memorial Hospital, one of Asia’s leading cancer care institutions.
But while medical care may be available, a place to sleep is not.
Patients and their families sleep on footpaths around the hospital, exposed to weather, mosquitoes, and infection.
During monsoon, many live under plastic sheets, soaking wet, cold, and vulnerable.
With poor sanitation, malaria, dengue, and infections are common—putting immunocompromised patients at even greater risk.
Families, including young children and elderly caregivers, have no access to clean water, toilets, or food.
The stress, lack of rest, and unsafe conditions negatively affect recovery and survival.
This is not just a housing issue—it’s a humanitarian crisis.

These shelters will provide:
✅ Clean beds and private spaces for rest

There are no secrets to success. It is the result of preparation, hard work, and learning failure.nn– OLIVER SANDERO
