Being a small charity run by voluntary Trustees and helpers, we have virtually no overheads. Our supporters appreciate that any money raised goes directly to the work with the children and every penny is accounted for. Our close relationship with the Directors in Madurai and their staff, means that we are able to provide first-hand news of the work for sponsors and supporters.
