Aradhana Childrens Home

Introduction:

This project is run by the Bethesda Mission, which was started in1999 in Bangalore. It is registered with the govenment of India and it is part of a faith based mission serving the rural/slum and tribal population.

Aradhana is a boys children's home, located in a very remote village called Tumkur. There are around 70 children in our care. ARADHANA means worshiping the Lord through our actions. Our focus is to offer spiritual life, education and health to our beneficiaries.

Our future plans include building a school, a laboratory and a Balwadi (a school for children of migrant laborers and HIV infected parents). The children's home that we have is only for boys and there are 17 girls waiting to be taken into another home.
