CHILDREN'S HOME IMPROVEMENT'S LEARNING AND DEVELOPMENT (CHILD'S) TRUST
We began in 1999 by Christians who were moved by the need of under privileged children in India. Some children have had major impact in improving their nutrition & diet whilst for others it is providing basic medical facilities. Education & Spiritual welfare play a vital part along with the right to live in comfortable accommodation. Our aim is to help make a difference by supplying basic needs.
