Their plight was observed by the organization and with the help of a local NGO, SIDUR started a home with secure for these children who are orphans and semi orphans below the age group of 13 years. This paved way for starting a home for these children called “Aadharana Home” in Machilipatnam. There are 200 children presently residing. Here children are given nutritional support, recreation, extra coaching for studies, medical care, school education and also moral guidance and skills.

Most of the children do not go to school because they belong to the fishermen community just about surviving on meager income. Schools are not accessible meaning either they are far away or there is no bus facility or they are unable to afford schooling. Formal education, tuitions are also provided to enhance their intellectual skills. Apart from this emotional development and care like moral instruction, supervision and discipline, a structured family-like environment, community life. Trusting, fostering loving relationships is also included in the core curriculum.
