BOYS' AND GIRLS' TOWNS OF INDIA

EXPANSION TO INDIA

In October 2016, A Chance In Life inaugurated Boys’ and Girls’ Towns of India –  a program that provides a chance in life to more than 1,500 extremely poor girls and boys living in the tribal areas of southern India and the northern state of Gujarat. The people of these tribal communities live well below the poverty line. The children of these villages may not have basic necessities such as clean water, enough food or access to education. Often, they are brought to institutions for a better life and the chance to go to school.


​Boys' and Girls' Towns of India supports 13 of these homes for children in the states of Kerala,  Tamil Nadu and Gujarat. The young people of Boys' and Girls' Towns of India are between the ages of 4 and 18. A Chance In Life partners with loving nuns and priests who have dedicated their lives to caring for children in need. 


​Each child in our program is given a home, an education and the opportunity to develop as a self-confident and responsible member of his or her community. A Chance In Life brings its successful pedagogical approach of self-government to these homes for children.
