Peter Paul Raj is the Founder and Managing Trustee of this Good Samaritan Mission.
He was with Mother Teresa's Missionaries of Charity for 10 years. An inspiration during a religious retreat led Bro. Peter Paul Raj to believe that it was his calling, to work for the street children in Mumbai. Subsequently with Mother Teresa's blessings, he set out in May 26th 1994 to fulfill his mission with just Rs.5000 (not unlike Mother Teresa herself who had set out with just Rs.5 over 50 years earlier).
With humble beginnings in a one room tenement in a slum area of Ghatkopar, Mumbai, Bro. began by tending to vagabond children in Dadar railway station of Mumbai. Many were the discouraging words and obstacles he faced during the initial years. But it was his unwavering faith in God and that belief God will provide him for his work, which saw him overcome the hurdles and continue over the last 25 years.
We have 3 shelter homes for children at Vikhroli, Mumbai and one shelter home for children at Kalamboli, New Mumbai and male destitute at Vikhroli and at Kalyan
