Calvary Chapel Trust · Bangalore
Founded in 1989 in a Koramangala slum with five children, Calvary Chapel now gives food, shelter, education and medical care to orphaned, destitute and HIV-affected children across India.
How it started
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
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.
