Situated in the Doon Valley, amidst sweeping mountains and verdant forests, lies Raphael. Established by renowned humanists, Lord Cheshire and Lady Ryder, Raphael began as a cluster of tents housing cured leprosy patients (Hansen's Disease) and mentally challenged destitutes from the streets of Dehra Dun. Abused and shunned by society, they came to Raphael with a dream - to start a new life that would change their destiny forever. Today, Raphael stands as a testament to that dream . Now a sprawling complex, built with generous donations, it cares for over 300 children and adults.
