The hill they transformed.

The sisters made their home on this rocky slope and named it Sandipani, “radiating light.” What began as community health awareness through regional workshops took permanent shape as a dedicated sanctuary for holistic healing, education and eco living.

They planted trees to support biodiversity on the hillside. Four ministries now carry that healing forward — a healing centre, a non-formal education centre, community outreach and an eco healing centre.
