In the Child Care Home, we finance the living costs of seven women with special needs. They receive no state support and find it difficult or impossible to find work. Therefore, they simply continue to live in the girls’ home. Depending on their abilities, they help out in the home, printing cloths or making paper bags, for example.

For example Bandana:

Bandana came to Childcare Home when she was 13. She lost her parents at a young age but cannot remember exactly when. She and her older brother initially worked for a family in Bombay. After a few years her brother stole items from that household and they fled to Calcutta. There he sold Bandana to the Red Light District. After some time, she somehow managed to flee from there. A local youth club then transferred her to a state-run orphanage and from there she came to “Childcare Home”.
