The present situation of young addicts from the economically weaker section:

When it comes to addiction, it is not confined to any particular strata or class in society. Without any distinction, youngsters tend to get in to use of drugs or alcohol.  In Maharashtra alone, there are hundreds of drug rehab centers but the Youth from the weaker sections, financially cannot afford to avail the services of these Rehab services. This means, because of their poor economic situation, these young addicts, even when they desire to get healed of addiction, they have very few resources. Seeing this need Don Bosco has open the door to such youth for healing of addiction at Maria Ashiana.
