Sponsoring a child in India is one of the most meaningful ways to break the cycle of poverty. At SERUDS (Sai Educational Rural & Urban Development Society), we offer a transparent child sponsorship program that supports education, nutrition, healthcare, and emotional well-being for underprivileged children across India.
Why Sponsor a Child in India?
Children from economically disadvantaged families in India face a myriad of challenges, including:
- Malnutrition
- High dropout rates from school
- Involvement in street life and petty crime
- Exploitation through child labor
- Early marriage and its associated health risks
- Abuse and substance misuse
- Illness, leading to alarming mortality rates
By sponsoring a child, you’re giving them the tools and hope for a brighter future.
What Your Child Sponsorship Supports
- Joy Home Orphanage: A loving home for 60 orphaned and abandoned children, offering shelter, healthy food, medical care, and quality education.
- Daycare Centers for Children: We run 3 crèches that care for toddlers and young children of daily wage laborers. These centers provide a safe, nurturing environment with meals, hygiene, and learning activities.
- Education Sponsorship: We identify talented students from low-income families and sponsor their schooling in reputable private schools, covering tuition, uniforms, and study materials.
- Education Kits for Girls: To promote education among slum-dwelling girls, we distribute school supply kits to over 500 students (Classes V–X) in government schools each year.
