These boys have been taken into the Clifford Smith Home for Boys, despite having no sponsors. They were found hanging around the railway station and bus stand and roaming the streets, collecting discarded water bottles and selling them to get food to eat. Shalem, the warden was so concerned that they would fall into even worse habits that he has admitted these boys into the Home, despite not having the money they need for child maintenance and the R31,000 required to meet their educational needs. SalGOERCO are doing their best to raise the money locally, but we desperately need sponsors for them. Can you help? Could you or some friends group together help sponsor one of these boys, to give them the love and encouragement they need?

We are a small charity with a big challenge - supporting work among the poor in the south Indian state of Andhra Pradesh (A.P.). with our Indian partners, SalGOERCO. We maintain two children's Homes through sponsorship, provide support for very poor families,widows and the elderly. SalGOERCO also work with HIV/Aids families and landless communities. We recognise the importance of education, so as well as supporting those children in the home to fulfill their educational potential, we support as many students as we can in our projects to go onto further education, whilst also helping to provide teacher's for two tuition centres for children who are struggling.
