We need hands as much as we need money.

Volunteers from the local community have supported this work from the beginning. We would like to meet more like minded people, wherever they are.

Volunteering & Internships

Give your time.

Teach our children

Trained in special needs care and speak Telugu? Or able to teach art, craft, games, music or dance? These are the classes the children look forward to most.

Provide health services

Physicians, dentists, orthopaedic and eye specialists, physiotherapists, speech therapists and counsellors — any amount of time is useful.

Give us ideas

Experienced social workers who can look at our systems and suggest better ways of doing things are very welcome.

Spread the word

Share our work, speak about us at your workplace or club, run a crowdfunding campaign, or help with our social media, videos and reports.

Intern with us

Two weeks to three months, hands on, for students of social work, special education, psychology, physiotherapy, nursing, communications and design. Certificate provided.

Before you apply

Anyone volunteering with children must provide identity proof, two references and a signed undertaking to follow our child protection policy. No exceptions.

Come and see for yourself.

It is a place that runs on light and hope. The children will laugh and play with you, and the older ones will proudly show you what they have made. The grandmothers will almost certainly feed you something.

Please write or call at least two days ahead so we can receive you properly

Wishlist

Give a thing instead of money.

Many people would rather give something they can picture. Everything on this list is something a child or a resident will use within days of it arriving. If it is easier to send money and let us buy locally, that works too — and is often cheaper.
