India is home to tens of millions of street and working children. Due to unemployment, increasing rural-urban migration, attraction of city life, and a lack of political will India now has one of the largest numbers of child laborers in the world. Street children are subject to malnutrition, hunger, health problems, substance abuse, theft, harassment by the city police and railway authorities, as well as physical and sexual abuse (source).

Emmanuel Orphanage was established in 2000 to protect the needy, destitute, helpless orphans and street children. What began with 12 children has grown to 80 current residents, of whom about 60 are children; others include staff and some distressed women including widows and a blind woman. Most of the children are from broken families. Their parents are either unwilling or unable to care for them. Just a few have no parents.

The funds sent by The KIM Foundation Intl. are utilized for meeting the daily needs of residents, building maintenance such as painting, and purchasing school materials, necessary appliances, kitchen supplies, etc.
