We provide financial support to our partners PUSS (Palli Unnayan Seva Samiti), an organisation which provides care and education for children living in poverty.

We also help support the work of SOCH (Society for children), which rescues runaway children from the railways of India and provides support and rehabilitation to adolescents with troubled lives.

Through fundraising and the support of several loyal friends, we have raised enough money to support the 300 children at PUSS and to assist SOCH in the past. But every year the costs in India rise and there are several thousand children in Odisha living on the streets, in railway stations and in otherwise unsafe conditions. These children are vulnerable to illness, exploitation and trafficking and our aim is to help as many children as we can to find safe accommodation and to attend school.

We cannot provide the support we do without help - every penny we raise goes to the children. Our trustees are all volunteers and when supporters and committee members visit Orissa regularly, which they do, they do so either on other work or are self-funded so none of the money we raise is used for this purpose.
