Help a child leave poverty behind for good

You can help a child reach their potential and lead change in their own community

From safe, creative spaces to bold community leadership,

we nurture children to rise and lead lasting change.​

For over 50 years we have worked with expert local partners in Tamil Nadu’s poorest communities to protect and empower vulnerable children. When children receive safe, loving care, they can learn creatively, find their voice and the courage to reach their potential.

Every day is a fight for survival for children like Karthi. With no one to protect or nurture them, the cycle of poverty continues.  Children are often left alone at risk of child labour, trafficking and early marriage.  School isn’t enough.

How you can help

For children abandoned by poverty and HIV — hope starts here

Poverty tells children they have no future. Creativity tells them they have infinite potential.
