Project Report | Nov 7, 2025
Autumn 2025 -Games Room Appeal

By Jennifer Owen | Chair of Trustees

Our vocational training projects have gone from strength to strength in recent months. We have enrolled ten new students in the Food and Craft Institute (FCI) where they will undergo eighteen months of training, including a six month industrial placement at a prestigious hotel. We have also enrolled our first student at Lakme Beauty Academy. She will complete a six month cosmetology course, which also includes a placement. We wish all the young people the very best in their new endeavours.

 

Our newsest and most exciting initiative is the proposed construction of a Games Room and extra water harvesting capabilities at the children's home. During the long winter months and monsoon season the children are unable to play outside. We want to build them a room where they can play board games, table tennis and interact together.  We plan to create a space that brings joy to lives often marked by hardship. Play isn’t just fun - it’s essential for growth and wellbeing.and offers many mental health benefits. We firmly believe that every child deserves a space to play, laugh and grow.
