About 40 kids from poor families are taken care in our Tiny Tots nursery Home. Primary and High School have been built to provide education to the Home kids and the kids from the nearby villages. Two school buses donated by Bijou Brigitte runs to far-off village, and also to encourage them to attend school, as distance is a constraint for them leading to dropouts.
