| St. Elizabeth's Convent: A school for 800 children
|
| St. Elizabeth’s Convent (run by Franciscan nuns) takes very good care of the children from 800 poor fishermen's families, from the kindergarten right up to class 7. After the 7th class, it is important for the girls to receive vocational training instead of staying at home, where they are frequently married off at a very young age. The boys too, must find new livelihoods, as fishing no longer brings a living wage, and the fishermen families cannot pay for their children's vocational training.

| Dayabhavan: Home for healthy children of AIDS patients
|
| The boys with Dayabhavan come from families where the parents, because of sickness or death, cannot look after their children any more. Our Indian partner organisation has achieved much in providing accommodation, clothes, food, and care for the boys, who are usually traumatised. Additional costs for the most talented boys at the English Medium School need to be funded. The boys are ambitious and study hard.

The boys should receive a good education!

| Snehasadan: Boys' home in Bangalore
|
| In June 2007, the young boys of the children's home NAMS Snehasadan in Bangalore transferred from the nearby village school to the 6 km distant Convent Medium School. All the children managed the transition well, although it was not easy to meet the higher entrance qualifications. Our means are used for school fees, uniforms, text books and fares.
