Welcome to the Friendship Shelter Web Page

Orissa is one of the poorest states in India, stricken by floods, typhoons every year followed by dry spells with scarcity of water.  Kandhmal is the tribal area of Orissa, neglected since 1500 going back to British occupancy.

A home was started in 2006 with 25 children,   between the ages of 3 to 15.  Most of the children are from remote tribal areas where school and medical care is not available. When we first found these children they were in a very pathetic condition with hardly any food or clothing.

We provide clothes, blankets, school uniforms, two nutritous and wholesome meals, a fully furnished shelter to live, send them to school, buy educational material, and pay school fees, immunization, and medical bills. A dedicated staff help them with homework, take them out for recreation, sports, and cultural activities.
