The founder of the orphanage, named Somawathi, wanted to create a loving environment for children to grow up and develop themselves in. The children are equipped with the most basic necessities in life such as shelter, food and clothes.

The GSRD Foundation provided these children with a vocational training program. Within this vocational training program children are taught carpentry, sewing, pottery, electronics and textile processing. These trainings provided the children with skills to progress in life. In addition, we supported 500 children with an after school curriculum.
