Bethsaida
means a place of friendship, nests, healing, and sanctuary. A charitable
institution owns Bethsaida Hermitage (an Eco Friendly Ayurvedic
Beach Resort) and income from this most beautiful place is directed
towards most of our charitable activities. The institution runs
an orphanage offering home and education to over 600 boys and girls,
parenting 2000 children in the villages, provides employment for
young women from poorest families, conducts retreats and counselling.
Guests staying here need never know of the of the institutions existence
(as there are 20 acres of land) however anyone who is interested
need only take a short walk around the grounds and they will soon
find a varieties of activities going on including: weaving and coir
carpet making- The young women doing the weaving and coir carpet
are not only learning how to run a business, The income earned is
directly used for their dowry for the marriage.
If you care about the environment and the local people, be here
now at this paradise.
