At the bottom, are the children most vulnerable and at risk of abuse.
These are the children who live on the streets, under bridges and beside railway stations. Some are orphans. Some are driven from their homes. Some have run away from an abusive parent or step-parent. Some others, confined to the walls of their home, forced into labour, sexual abuse or even prostitution. Alone, these children do not have the divine right to a happy childhood with access to care, food and education.
Your help provides these children safe and happy childhoods. Your efforts to raise funds and support the work on the ground help to give these children homes. In the Homes, children grow up in a safe and caring environment, sometimes for the first time in their young lives. Here they receive nutritious meals and learn about hygiene. Regular health check-ups ensure they receive their vaccinations and medical issues are addressed.
Every child in the Homes attends school. Some who have attended schools before, continue at a nearby public school. Other children, who have never attended school or who have dropped out of the system for years, go to non-formal schools until they are ready to take the public exams.
A typical day in the homes begins with the children waking up in the morning. A good breakfast later, they are on their way to school. They return in the evening and rest. Evenings are spent with outdoor activities like gardening and games. The children also receive extra coaching classes followed by supper and bedtime.
Our children love visitors who come to spend time with them. Please contact one of the house managers to schedule a visit.
