Orphanage Needs List
Smaller Donations – This is an essential source of income for Joy Home for Children Orphanage. These donations are allocated to the general daily running of our orphanage in India.
No donation is too small. One off small donations is just as valuable to us.
Larger Donations – These are allocated towards projects which we need to complete and donors are listed on the site. You also have the option to stay anonymous.
The needs list is just a way to relate back to you where your money is being spent and what we need to achieve our goals. As a small charity, we want to interact with our supporters as much as possible.
Pending Needs - As there are many costly needs to fund, a small (part) donation from several sponsors would be required to fulfill the listed needs. You can make a donation towards these needs via cheque, credit card or Paypal.
