Project Report | Mar 24, 2026
You've helped us stay happy, healthy and safe in 2026!

Our annual fundraising campaign raised US$7,000, including matched funding from GlobalGiving— a huge thank you to everyone who donated and shared our story!

Your support helps provide nutritious meals, medical care, and dedicated caregivers and teachers, creating a safe and stable environment where every resident can feel secure, valued, and cared for each day. It also allows us to continue offering consistent, high-quality support to some of the most vulnerable members of our community.

For example, it means that children at the Infants’ Home can learn and grow every day.

At the nursery school, teacher Priyanka leads daily sessions filled with songs, dance, creative activities, and play. Through these simple but powerful activities, each child begins to build important skills—learning to communicate, develop coordination, and gain confidence as they take their first steps on their learning journey. These early experiences lay the foundation for their future development and independence.

Together, this support helps create a warm and inclusive community where everyone has the chance to grow, connect, and experience joy. It transforms lives not just by meeting basic needs, but by opening doors—to learning, to independence, and to a future filled with greater possibility.

Thank you once again to everyone who follows our journey and supports us in so many ways—we truly appreciate each and every one of you.
