For more than 40 years the Goodwill Children’s Homes have provided orphaned and destitute children from disadvantaged tribal areas in Tamil Nadu, India with a loving home and access to quality education. Through our Indian partners, Goodwill ensures long term care and education to children from very poor backgrounds who are often orphaned at a young age; many have no one to look after them and the support provided by Goodwill allows them the opportunity for a brighter future.

Canford have been taking Yr 12 pupils there evry year for the last 21 years.  The pupils will spend time in the orphanage, teach English in the school that is connected to the orphanage.  This is not simply a tourist holiday - the pupils get to contribute to the orphans on-going education. Equally the orphans have the opportunity to make our pupils think about the differences and the similarities as they share time together.
