Objectives

• Create a loving home, school and community base for orphaned, street children, child laborers, ex-child conscripted soldiers, and abused children, thus offering them a sense of safety and security.

• Offer the children nutritious food, clean water, medical care, clothing, and a warm bed.
• Provide the children with a multidimensional educational experience that both embodies and reaches beyond the traditional classroom. This will ultimately include art, music, world religion, sustainability and human values education.
• Provide vocational training skills to develop self-sufficiency (i.e. sewing, cooking, gardening, husbandry, community outreach, computer skills)
• Teach the children to grow and develop in an age of globalization while instilling a strong sense of cultural identity and connection to their heritage.
• Establish a relationship with the local community, raise local awareness, and stress community influence. Change the social perspective towards the poor and lower castes.
• Conduct programs for widows, socially vulnerable and destitute women within the community thus encouraging women’s welfare, empowerment, and gender equality as well as positive community relations.
