You Can Help a Child

Let none be like another

Yet each be like the highest

How can that be?

Let each be perfect in himself

Shelter

Our hostels shelter around 800 children in an atmosphere of security and love. For those children who are lucky enough to have parents, these hostels provide a home away from home.

But for the many who do not have any home, our hostels are the only place they know and grow to love.

Owing to problems with shortage of water in the city, our hostels were shifted to Sholinganallore from Mylapore, several years ago.

Feeding hungry mouths at our hostels in Sholinganallore

We have been providing free and subsidised shelter and accommodation since 1937. With dormitories divided as per age group and gender, each group of children is looked after by a loving house-mother or house-father.

Rich and poor, children from all social, economic and religious backgrounds, live together in our hostels-playing and fighting as they would at home. All have duties which they perform together, irrespective of caste or creed.

Our hostels serve another purpose-to inculcate a sense of discipline and regular habits, and to enable children to learn how to be tolerant and adjust to those who have different views and come from different backgrounds.
