About Us

Currently the Charity works in partnership with local Non-Government Organisations (NGO’s) in South India and Thailand. The majority of our work is funded through individual child sponsorship.

Children are delighted to think that someone really cares for them – sponsors receive regular progress reports and enjoy sharing their success as they achieve their goals in life. General donations support children and communities for whom no individual sponsors have been found. 

Our History
Charity President and Founder, Joe Homan started a single project in 1965 for destitute boys, just south of Madurai in Tamil Nadu, South India.

From humble beginnings, our work has grown over the last 40 years and today there are 7 residential homes for boys aged 11-18 in South India and one in Thailand, each housing 70 youngsters, as well as 5 similar projects for girls and younger children.
The charity also helps hundreds of children in community projects, giving them valuable support in their education.
