Bethel Child Dev. Centre

 

This is an educational project for the underprivileged children in a village called Adarhalli, located 100kms east of Hubli - Karnataka. Tribal people who keep migrating to larger cities for job opportunities predominantly populate this village. The main occupation is farming. However, due to lack of adequate rainfall for the last few years, the majority of the people live below poverty line.

 

There is a Day Care Centre, consisting of four classrooms, which supplements the education of those who attend Government operated schools; and it is through this Centre the children are helped to gain admission to the local schools. The Centre  is open daily from mid day to 8pm and provides  one nutritious meal a day.
