Our children’s home has been a home for five to ten children since 2008. Our children come from poor backgrounds and/or from highly disturbed families. Some are orphans, others still have a parent. In the meantime, the children have turned into young adults and some of our protégés have already left again. Rajin, Supriya, Bikesh and Anic live with their relatives again and some of them still support for their further education. The children are assigned to us by the Child Welfare Council.
The children/young adults are looked after and accompanied by Laxmi and her husband BK.
In our children’s home in Kusunti live currently (2022) five protégés. Laxmi, her husband BK and their son Suryansh also live in Kusunti. By now, most children have reached teenage age and some have already started their studies.
We do not aim to take in any more children, but rather let the commitment in the children’s home slowly run out.

A new girl in Kusunti
The Child Welfare Office has been urging us to do so for a long time: We have space and a good place and on top of everything not the required 10 children in our children’s home in Kusunti. Therefore, this year in June we were assigned another girl: Sujata is 10 years old and, like…
