SMIT & Our Founder’s Journey
“Spread love everywhere you go. Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.”- Mother
Teresa
This beautiful quote by Mother Teresa, founder of Missionaries of Charity, a charitable organization in
the city of Kolkata in West Bengal, is what our founder Mrs. Yojana Gharat believes. After all, this very
Missionaries of Charity in Kolkata was her home during childhood. To be uninfluenced by the aura of
Mother’s compassionate nature and benevolence is then impossible.
Mrs. Gharat, the founder and President of SMIT foundation, is a strong lady with a mission! For more than
23 years, she has worked tirelessly to uplift the poor, the abandoned, the disabled, and even those
suffering from mental ailments. Her tremendous perseverance and efforts led to the formation of SMIT in
the year 2010 at Boisar in the Palghar district of Maharashtra.
Through continued support, dedication, and efforts from various helping hands, the SMIT Old Age Home and
Care Foundation registered as an NGO in 2017.
Together with her two able daughters - Vrushali and Mayuri, Mrs. Gharat aims to propel the SMIT Foundation
to even greater heights to create a better world for everyone!

Success Stories
Kadar Bhai
“Allah sab dhekh raha hai”.
Our dear Khadhar Bhai, who lives by this saying and has only pure intentions in his heart, made
his way into our lives and has brought nothing but immense joy.
Born with an IQ considered
lower than the average human, Khadhar Bhai spent most of his life trying to find acceptance in his
village. However, having lost his family members at a very young age and, as a result, having to
live on the streets made it hard for him.
He was often made fun of and pelted stones at by the
villagers only because he was different from the rest. Sometimes, like every human, he too
succumbs to his emotions and gets aggressive, but that is only a result of the villagers’
extremely violent behavior.

Miss Deena Sequeira
If you could use one word to describe the fame you find through the film
industry, it would be ‘unpredictable’.
One day you’re revelling in all the good things that it brings, and the next, you see everything
slip right through your fingers.
Miss Deena Sequeira’s godfather, her sole guardian, introduced her to the film industry during her
teenage years.
She starred in various movies and gained popularity at a very young age. As time went by, her
career peaked, and it was almost as though she was living her best life; until she wasn’t.
Just when she was ready to settle in and get comfortable living her bachelor life, the
unpredictability of being a part of the film industry presented itself.
She stopped getting signed for movies and lost everything in her name as a result of trying to
make a ‘comeback’.

Miss Kusum
When you live a life of poverty, hard work becomes your best friend. It becomes
your
source of hope, one that you cling to until you find the release you’ve been looking for.
Miss Kusum lived this exact narrative; hard work was all she knew and was all she was going to
know for quite some time.
She used to work in a brick kiln with her husband, and her days were spent commuting between work
and home. With no children and no extended family to rely on, her husband was all she had, so when
he passed, Miss Kusum was devastated. Her only source of moral and physical support was no more,
and she was left all alone.
However, the life she lived did not give her the privilege to grieve her loss, and she had to get
back to the kiln as though nothing had changed.
Over time, Miss Kusum’s health caught up to her, and she fell sick. She soon lost her job and the
roof over her head.
