Bethania Kids was founded in 1987 as a Christian ministry to provide a home for nine orphaned children in Kannavadi, Tamil Nadu, South India. Since then, Bethania Kids has grown to serve nearly 1000 impoverished children, women and families in 15 separate sites: four residential homes (2 for girls and 2 for boys) in Tamil Nadu and Andhra Pradesh; nine care centers providing day care and after school care in Tamil Nadu and tribal areas of Odisha; two centers for special needs children; and, six women's empowerment programs, where women learn skills to enable them to support their families. The Bethania Kids staff in each home, care center, and program are committed to providing top-quality and individualized care for every person served. Bethania Kids is a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization.
A member of the Rotary Club of Estes Park has been involved with Bethania Kids for many years and recently visited the Dayayu Angel Home in Kannavadi, Tamil Adu, India.
This grant project is to replace the septic system equipment at the Dayavu Angel Home.
The cost for the septic system equipment and materials is $2,148.
This grant application is requesting $1,432 in District grant matching funds, to go with $716 from the Rotary Club of Estes Park to purchase the septic system equipment and materials.
A member of the Rotary Club of Estes Park met with representatives of the Rotary Club of Batlagundu New Generation and received confirmation they will assist in overseeing the project.
Project status updates will be provided at the Rotary Club of Estes Park meetings and in the club newsletter.
