Who We Are

Exploring Our Story: Learn About Our Mission, Values, and Impact in Serving Children in Need.

At our core, we are a compassionate network dedicated to safeguarding the rights and well-being of children in India. Founded with a profound sense of purpose, our journey began with a heart-wrenching encounter that ignited a commitment to serve those most vulnerable. Over the years, this commitment has grown into a comprehensive mission focused on providing love, care, and support to children facing adversity.

Driven by a vision of a world where every child in India can thrive, we work tirelessly to create tangible change in their lives. Our approach is rooted in empathy, integrity, and collaboration, guiding us as we strive to bring back the lost smiles of children in need, one heartfelt intervention at a time.

Our Approach

Empowering Children for a Brighter Tomorrow

At the heart of our mission, we uphold a belief in a holistic approach to empowering children, one that encompasses their physical, emotional, and educational needs. Through a blend of community outreach, educational initiatives, and targeted interventions, we strive to create a nurturing environment where children can thrive. Our approach begins with identifying the most pressing needs of the communities we serve, whether it be access to quality education, healthcare, or protection from exploitation.

We prioritize collaboration with local stakeholders and communities, recognizing that sustainable change is best achieved when we work hand in hand with those who know the context best. By fostering partnerships with schools, government agencies, and grassroots organizations, we ensure that our programs are culturally sensitive, contextually relevant, and impactful. Additionally, we invest in capacity building efforts to empower community members to take ownership of their own development processes, thereby creating a ripple effect of positive change that extends far beyond our direct interventions.

Central to our approach is the belief that every child deserves the opportunity to reach their full potential, regardless of their background or circumstances. We aim to break the cycle of poverty and inequality by equipping children with the tools they need to become agents of change in their own lives and communities. Through mentorship programs, life skills training, and extracurricular activities, we instill confidence, resilience, and a sense of purpose in the children we serve, laying the foundation for a brighter and more equitable future for all.

Our story is one of compassion and determination. It started with a moment of realization at a railway station in southern India, where our founder, Father John P Kalathil, witnessed a hungry child searching for scraps. This encounter ignited a passion to make a difference. Since 2002, we’ve grown into a network of initiatives dedicated to providing love, shelter, education, and opportunities for vulnerable children. Our journey showcases the transformative power of compassion.
