Vivekananda Home Rembau was established since 2006. This is after a few years of planning
made by Pergerakan Belia Vivekananda Seremban.
After the movement collect the donations that are needed, an old long house made of half bricks and half woods has been built for the children’s place to stay. The house was located and belongs to Sri Subramaniar Rembau Temple. At that time, there are three families renting the place. After a close discussion with the temple’s management, the movement has agreed to rent the house. The families that lived at the place gradually moved and the house has been vacant during December 2005. The movement also made some renovation to the house, so the children’s could live comfortably. The movement also searching for volunteers to take care of the house that been named as Vivekananda Home Rembau.
A single mother with two daughter, has agreed to become supervisor for the house. A committee has been established and Mr. Ramesh Patel who also a local have been given the trust to take care of the house. In April 2006, the house has been officially opened with six boys as the occupants along with both of the supervisor’s daughter making the house to open with eight children.
A few months later, there are slight misunderstanding between Mr. Ramesh Patel and the committee of the movement where Mr. Ramesh has been given options whether to take care of the house or give the movements the rights to. After a long thought and advised from his friends, Mr. Ramesh Patel has decided to take care of the house.
