Contribution Day

This month the “Community Contribution Day” took place in Hyderabad. Staff, neighbours and the local community around the campus were invited to contribute to the children’s homes. The day was a great success.

On the 13th of December, people from the surrounding areas of the projects in Hyderabad came together to support the children’s homes with groceries. The event attracted many people to the campus where vulnerable children and women have found a home, go to school or attend professional skills trainings.

People generously donated food such as rice, lentils or potatoes for the children’s shelters. “We are touched by their generosity,” emphasise the local project leaders. “We are very blessed to have the local community involved in this.“

Some participants also prepared snacks at home to sell on site and donate the proceeds to the children’s homes. With the donations and the food contributions, the children’s nutrition can be ensured for the next three weeks.

In addition to providing valuable support to the children’s homes, the campaign also helps to reach out to the local community, strengthen their connection to the institution and expand the local network.

Would you also like to support the children in Usthi’s children’s homes? Every contribution is of great importance for the children and young people.
