At The Orphans in Need project we are a team of dedicated people, setting out to build an orphanage to help orphans living in the Asian Subcontinent region of Gujarat. Our plan initially is to accommodate 140 of the most disadvantaged and lonely children. These children are desperately in need of a chance.

We aim to protect and restore their basic rights as human beings. Ultimately to bring about a lasting enrichment of their situation, by means of improving access to reasonable basic humanitarian living, healthcare and education. We aim also, to provide opportunities for those children to develop their potential and to learn skills which will enable them to become self-sufficient, giving them a brighter future and paving the path for a peaceful society.

Violence erupted in Gujarat in February 2002, when 59 people were killed in an attack on a train. In the days that followed, thousands of people, most of whom were Muslim, were targeted in widespread violence. Local human rights groups believe that as many as 2000 people were killed. Many tens of thousands of others remain internally displaced, fearing to return to their homes. Amnesty International PRESS RELEASE (News Flash; 24 September 2002)

It is our vision that the lives of all children and young people should be free from the blight of poverty, abuse and discrimination. Our purpose is to help the most vulnerable children and young people transform their lives and fulfil their potential.
