What We Do
Help a Child of India has been providing opportunities for development to many poor and needy children, deprived of such possibilities, through residential child care programmes for decades. Several differently abled children have also been benefited through these programmes. Many Children completed their academics, secured vocational skills and pursued employment, beyond the borders even, and are ambassador of children’s cause.
Day Care CenterThe programme caters to the educational and health needs of the poor young kids. These children are eventually mainstreamed into regular schools. Academic support is provided to school going children, where necessary.
