We exist to love previously abandoned children with medical and special needs in India by caring for their physical, emotional, spiritual, medical and educational needs in a family environment.

We care for 167 previously abandoned children and young adults with range of medical and special needs such as epilepsy, cerebral palsy, hemiplegia, cognitive challenges, hydrocephalus, brain damage, autism, orthopedic challenges, blindness, hearing loss, and spina bifida.

We rescue children from overcrowded and understaffed institutional orphanages. When they arrive in our care, they are often malnourished and have unmet medical needs. We parter with some of the best local hospitals and doctors to get them healthy. Our family environment help these previously abandoned children feel loved, celebrated, and accepted. We then provide physical therapy, early intervention, nursing care, and educational opportunities to help each child reach his or her fullest potential.

Our hope is that many of our children will be adopted into forever families, but for those won’t, we are committed to them for life–- they will never “age out” of SCH and be left to fend for themselves.
