The Joe Homan Charity aims to help
disadvantaged children and improve their
opportunities and lifestyle by
encouraging them to obtain education,
and vocational training to develop their
self-esteem, thus enabling them to break
out of the poverty trap.
Where circumstances are so poor that
their families are unable to support
them, the Boys and Girls Homes provide
these children with a home from home.
There are also opportunities for
children within community projects,
whose continued education is threatened
by family poverty
The majority of our work is funded
through individual sponsorship of the
Children. General donations support
children and communities for whom no
individual sponsors have been found.
All
funding to Non-Governmental
Organisations (NGO’s) is carefully assessed
and regular visits to supported
projects, along with written reports and
receipts, allows the Charity to monitor
the achievement.
Why? More than 60 years after
India’s independence, wealth
distribution has been very uneven,
and population growth (currently
over 1 Billion and rising) has far
exceeded economic growth.
Who? The Indian government has
recently said it has found that 100
million more Indians than previously
thought are living below the poverty
line. Many live in abject poverty,
unable to adequately feed, clothe,
or educate their children. 40% of
the population are now eligible for
subsidised food supplies.
How? The Charity raises funds
from individuals and support groups
in the UK and across the world.
Children are delighted to think that
someone really cares for them –
sponsors receive regular updates and
enjoy sharing in their success as
they achieve their goals in life. We
also give aid to their families and
improve the quality of life within
the local community.
Where? Our work is focused in
the Southernmost State of India,
Tamil Nadu, near the Temple City of
Madurai
You will
make a difference, whether you sponsor
a child; make a donation, fundraise,
leave a legacy, volunteer.
