Facts & Figures

                            It provides free education, healthcare, welfare, food and clothing to slum children and their families.
It also helps their mothers start a small business, with free training, support and a small grant that helps lift the whole family out of the worst excesses of poverty. 
Its welfare system is unique, although currently limited to families of its pupils. Social workers visit homes and help slum families through issues such as illness, abuse, vulnerability and extreme poverty.
