About Us :
Deenabandhu was founded in 1992 with a first batch of 6 boys in a rented house by Prof. G.S. Jayadev. It is during this time that Mrs. Magali Reynaud from Retures, Switzerland visited Deenabandhu. Mrs. Megaly was deeply impressed and promised support. This was a stepping stone, a promise followed a priceless action and monetary aid so in 1994 we began the construction of cottages for boys.
