Care and Education for Destitute Children in South India

About our organisation

Goodwill Children's Homes (UK) is a funding body for the society currently registered in South India as 'Goodwill Children's Homes' that provides

• security
  a safe place for children to live happily together
• medical care
  health care is an unaffordable luxury for destitute families
• good food
  a nutritious diet for our children
• time to play
  a chance to be just children!
• schooling
  we believe that education is the best way to escape from poverty. All Goodwill children go to school.
• trade training
  for those who do not go on to a college or university we provide courses in skills and trades that will enable our children to earn a reliable income.

It is only possible to maintain our work in India through the offices of equivalent institutions registered in India (charitable societies). The work of our partner Society is overseen by committees of Indian professionals such as teachers, lawyers, clergymen, businessmen, university professors and such like. A substantial staff is needed in India to run our homes and education facilities. These are all of Indian nationality.

To maintain control over spending and development, the UK trustees employ a field consultant who is a UK national and an administrator who runs the UK office where records relating to revenue are maintained and the general maintenance of support is managed.
