How it started

Our beginning

Calvary Chapel Trust is a registered non-government organization founded in 1989, in a very humble manner, serving just five children in Koramangala slum, Bangalore. Today it cares for more than 5,000 children.

We nurture, care, educate and train children to realise their potential and become contributing members of society.

We are committed to serving orphaned, destitute and underprivileged children — providing compassionate, holistic care to the marginalised in our society, especially children.

What drives us

Our mission

Calvary Chapel envisions becoming a nationally recognised non-governmental organisation providing care and support to the under-privileged, abandoned, sick, marginalised, destitute and suffering people in our society — giving every individual meaning and dignity.

Child protection is central to everything we do. We recognise that children are vulnerable, and protecting them from harm is our prime focus. Every child in our care is assured their rights, within a security net built for appropriate care and protection.

“A home for every child who has none — fed, educated, cared for, and free to become who they're meant to be.”

Calvary Chapel Trust helps weaker sections of society irrespective of caste, creed or religion, carries out Christian outreach and education to strengthen ethical and moral values, provides a home for babies born with HIV referred by the Child Welfare Committee, and delivers food, clothing, shelter, education and medical care to orphaned and destitute children.

Where the work happens

What we do

  • Homes for HIV-positive children — a safe home for babies and infants born with HIV, referred by the Child Welfare Committee.
  • Food, shelter and schooling — daily care, education and medical support for orphaned, semi-orphaned and destitute children.
  • Rural education access — infrastructure that helps children in remote villages stay in school.
  • Medical outreach — free medical and eye camps, and support reaching government hospitals for the sick in remote villages.
  • A future after care — settling full orphans into independent life, including career and marriage.
