Objective:
In India kinship
within families serves as a social net. However, given
varying circumstances such as disease, debt, domestic
violence, and alcoholism many children become orphaned
or homeless and need to fend for themselves. These
children need to brought out from the elements and be
taken care-off. In these hostels we provide a secure
home and provide them with lodging, food, medicines,
books, toys, clothes, and even training for potential
employment. We have found that even simple facilities
can be effective in protecting and educating our
children. In the first year of operation 2008-2009 we
plan to support 50 children and later on expand it to
100 (as of now there is already a waiting list for 120+
children). |
