We began our mission after witnessing children begging on the streets or working alongside their parents in tough environments like construction sites and farms. These children, from migrant families constantly on the move, lacked safety, hygiene, and healthcare. Determined to make a difference, we started by providing them with home-cooked meals, using this small act of care to build trust. Over time, we gained the trust of over 1,500 children, many from challenging backgrounds, including those with single parents or difficult family situations.
With the community’s trust, we established a children’s home that now supports over 150 children. This safe space provides the stability and care they need, with clean surroundings, proper sanitation, and a nurturing environment. At Caring Hands, we believe every child deserves the chance to grow and thrive. Our team works hard to close educational gaps, offering support in academics and life skills to prepare them for a better future.
