Bindu Home Orphanage
Bindu Home Children are mostly tribal orphans or those with parents who
could not afford to send their children to school. Instead these children
would have been sent off to work in agricultural fields or sold off into
bonded labour to an owner.
Das was rescued from bonded labour by the Canadian Mennonite
Christian Missionaries in Devarakonda when he was 10 ,
he realised that this was something close to his heart to let children
have their childhood without being sold off into bonded labour and
goto school and grow up in a place where they could be nurtured for with a
warm Christian atmosphere .Thus Bindu Home was started with
5 students and over the years we have grown to 120 children, providing
them with food and accomodation . We didn’t have enough room
to accommodate so many children so some part of the childrens clinic is
used to accommodate children. The children used to sleep on the
floor and ever since they got bunk beds we have had to put some
bunk beds for the bigger children out in the verandah as there
is no place for them inside.”
