GIVE A HELPING
HAND TO THOSE
WHO NEED IT!
In 1994, on a visit to Vijayawada, Carol Faison met Noel Harper, then Director of the Catholic Social Service Centre. They joined hands to reach out not only to children in orphanages, but also to children on the streets, those hanging about the railway station, in the slums, the rural poor and children with mental and physical disabilities.
In 1997 they registered their charity as Care & Share Charitable Trust in Vijayawada, Andhra Pradesh, with Registration No: 242/1997. The Trust is registered with the Income Tax Authorities and has obtained 12A and 80G certification. Today we run a Distance Adoption Programme, two Children’s Villages, a Sishu Gruha, homes for HIV+ children and literacy centres across the city.
