Educate an Indian Child Experiencing Poverty

20 years after Christel House began, our graduates are proving that the Christel House Model WORKS! Christel House India – Bangalore has a remarkable record of success with nearly 150 graduates gainfully employed, thanks to the College & Careers program. Now the school is celebrating its first medical doctor! Dr. Reshma, a 2012 graduate, (pictured above, center) returned to share her success with school leaders. “Becoming a doctor was my dream since childhood,” Dr. Reshma says. ”My parents always wanted to see me as a doctor and serving people.” A medical degree in India is a 5 year commitment (Shaik started the program in 2013) with an additional year of House Surgency. Reshma will work as an intern at a local hospital then do a year of rural service. Dr. Reshma says the College & Careers support and scholarships she received from Christel House made the impossible, possible. “Christel House is where you receive support, care, love and encouragement.”
