JoyHome Orphanage in Kurnool
SERUDS started Orphanage in Budhavarapeta, Kurnool in December 2012. Today the Children’s Home shelters 60 boys and girls in the age group of 4 to 16 years. These abandoned orphan, street children come from different family backgrounds like a father who died of AIDS, mother who committed suicide, alcoholic father and mother left children and is living with other person, or both parents died. In this critical juncture These kids were found by Seruds in streets or volunteers brought the children to SERUDS Children Home. We believe that if these children are not taken care of they may become anti-social. We have rescued them and provided a safe shelter, education support, counseling and extracurricular activities like sports and games.
You are welcome to sponsor these abandoned orphan children for their education or living expenses. If you are not in Kurnool, you can send your friends to our Children Home to spend time with these kids. The children will feel that someone cares about their future and feel happy.
Donors are free to contribute any amount as desired, which will be utilized for the running of orphanage. You can celebrate your special day with the children, sponsor health care or sponsor annual expenses for a specific child. Profiles of these children and other funding options are available below.

The Neglected Orphans of India : Facts to Know
According to (UNICEF), India has 29.6 million orphaned and abandoned children (more than the population of Sri Lanka! In 2017, of these 30 million children, there were only 470,000 children in institutionalized care. In an orphanage or CCI the child has access to some food, limited education (only till age 14) and then at age 18, is abandoned to face the cruel world again!
The Planning Commission and the Government have never conducted a structured survey of these children. This is because there is no one to speak for these vulnerable children : they are not a ‘vote bank’.
The National Commission for Protection of Child Rights (NCPCR) data show there are 5,850 registered CCIs in India. If unregistered ones are included, there are more than 8,000 such institutions. One in five districts in the country does not have even a single orphanage. A majority of districts does not have the minimum three orphanages needed (one for children of less than 6 years of age and one each for boys and girls of 6-18 years respectively).
Adoption in India is consistently less than 6000 children per year, thus addressing only the tip of the problem.
The government’s annual expenditure on child protection (covering the entire gamut of child rights) is Rs 1500 crores : it amounts to less than Rs 2 per child per day, covering food, clothing, education and medical needs!
“…. We are guilty of many errors and many faults, but our worst crime is abandoning the children, neglecting the fountain of life. Many of the things we need can wait. The child cannot. Right now is the time his bones are being formed, his blood is being made, and his senses are being developed. To him we cannot answer ‘Tomorrow,’ his name is “Today.”
-(Gabriela Mistral)

Seruds Children’s Home is a registered Child Care Institution (CCI) under sec. 41 (1) and 50 (1) of the Juvenile Justice Act (CPC) 2015.
Every child who enters Children Home is given Counselling by a professional counsellor. This process will identify the underlying problems of the child and help her to transform negative attitudes, overcome depression and develop positive outlook towards life.
The children are provided accommodation, food, schooling, healthcare, clothes and recreation facilities. They have been admitted to Indira Gandhi Municipal Memorial High School, next to Collectorate Complex, A.Camp, Kurnool and are progressing well in studies.
We have been running the Orphanage solely through contributions. Our monthly expenditure on rent, operations, education is Rs.75000 (US $1250) we can keep Children Home running only through sponsorship of caring people like you. Imagine being the benefactor of a child by sponsoring all expenses, and witness the child achieving its dreams.
We encourage active sponsorship by arranging periodic meetings between the donor and sponsored child, and sending regular updates on the progress made in school and co-curricular activities.
Thank you for supporting our noble cause and being part of SERUDS family. Without your generous support it is very difficult to reach our goals towards abandoned orphan children.
