A Brief History:
The Karunya Trust
Childrens Home was established in February 1992 in Tiruvannamalai,
Southern India. The district is an agricultural area and very
under-developed. Most of the people in the villages are illiterate and
extremely poor. In the villages there are orphans, many children with
single parents ( due to death mostly ) and families with many children
having minimal income.
The trust assists
these children by providing them with needs such as food, shelter,
education, clothing and medical care. In 1994 the Trust purchased land in
order to build a house for 20 children. In 1997, a second house was
constructed and now there are 20 girls and 20 boys being cared for aged
between four and seventeen years.
Gradually with
love, discipline, improved nutrition and regular schooling the children
have gained strength, energy and commitment to their studies and a new
zest for life.
Karunya is
supported by friends from many different countries all with the loving
desire to help children in need.
