About the House
In 1859, John Bosco founded the Salesians of Don Bosco to serve poor and abandoned boys. At Mary Help of Christians’ urging, he turned his attention to girls as well, and with Maria Domenica Mazzarello as co-foundress, began the Congregation of the Daughters of Mary Help of Christians — the Salesian Sisters carrying that mission forward today.
The Puthiyathura house, known locally as Laura Bhavan, extends this charism into a fishing community on the Trivandrum coast, animating the parish, tutoring children, training women in tailoring and embroidery, and building self-help groups and livelihood skills.
Persuaded that the poor and the abandoned include daughters as much as sons, the work begun for boys was widened — so that no child would be left without a home.
