children's home

Meet Alice Thomas, a social worker from Puducherry who has spent 32 years funding the education of over 150 children from tribal and marginalised communities and helping them find jobs as paramedical staff, teachers, engineers, and more through her NGO Udhavi Karangal.

Veena Lal set up Karm Marg in 1997 to provide shelter for children in need without waiting for any donations.

As a part of an empowering initiative in Vellore, a group of girls from underprivileged backgrounds, some of whom are orphans, started their own crowdfunding pages to raise money for college education.

“It’s not an orphanage. It’s a children’s home and we are their parents. We are their family and we make sure we do the best we can for them,” says Shobha Kumar about a very special place called Spandana.
