Thanks for taking the time to visit our JustGiving page.
We are looking to raise approximately £160,000 in order to redevelop a children's orphanage in Darjeeling.
The 100 children of the Kripasaran Children's Mission in Darjeeling currently live in appalling overcrowded conditions. The buildings are dangerously dilapidated, cold and damp.These children desperately need a new home.
Our mission at the Darjeeling Children's Trust is to support a major building project that will provide much improved accommodation for these children.
To date, we have already raised approximately £20,000 (1.4million rupees), which is to be used for architectural fees, legal costs and some basic building work.
Our goal now is to raise £50,000 by October 2012 for phase 1, followed by an additional £110,000 by October 2013 for phase 2 of the redevelopment building project.
The need is urgent and the need is significant. Your help will be greatly appreciated by the children in Darjeeling - it will transform their lives. So please donate.
