About us
The poor will not come to us
we have to go to them.
Our vision
To promote human development irrespective of cast, creed or religion, paying special attention to the depressed and weaker sections of the society.
To work for the integrated growth of the challenged and differently abled children, the sick and destitute through rehabilitation programs, specialized education, preventive and curative health activities.
Our mission
Our founder
Francis Laborde, from his very young age has been touched by the poorest and the destitute. He could easily say, like Mother Teresa, whom he has worked with: "by birth, I am French. I am an Indian citizen. I am a catholic priest. But my heart entirely belongs to Jesus and to the poorest"
The poor have so much to give us...
