WHAT WE DO
We also have a building in a deprived area of Delhi, India. This is close to Happy’s home and from which we run a school, a church, sewing machine classes and computer courses.
Our Free Schools
Happy started the school in 2014. Out of his monthly salary he paid for a teacher to run the school every afternoon.
We knocked down the old building which was without proper foundations at the end of 2019 and rebuilt it. It has a huge hall that we use as a schoolroom and for community events. It now has a washroom, kitchen and a spare room for weary travellers, or for people visiting family who have only one room homes.
First Free School in North West Delhi (2014)
We also have 3 rural schools in Bihar
Free School in Dariyapur (March 2023)
Free School in Rasen Village (March 2025)
Free School in Kathza Village (Jan 2026)
The Sewing Classes
We have sewing classes every weekday evening with beautiful sewing machines that we were able to buy thanks to generous donations.
The Computer Classes
Happy runs 3 month computer classes.
ONGOING PROJECTS
Goat Rearing
Many of the villagers in farming areas only have small plots of land to grow their crops of wheat and rice. Only a few have enough surplus to make a small income from selling their produce. It is not easy to find work other than helping another farmer which will pay very little. In some cases the nearest town is a few hours work and there’s no guarantee of a job.
In April the Trust purchased two young female goats to give to a family of 5 who live in one room in a small farming village. The Trust also bought food for 5 months for the goats to supplement their grass income. These two females, Joy and Hope, will be taken to meet a buck in September following which we are anticipating 6 healthy baby goats. The family will be able to sell 4 of the goats a few months later. We plan to continue to support other families in farming communities in this way.
OTHER THINGS WE HAVE DONE
Free Pop-Up Clinics
Free pop-up clinics, eyes clinic for residents, and health check for children, teeth, eyes and mouths.
Blankets for Winter
Happy gave 120 blankets to village residents during winter 2025.
Bicycles
Travel between villages to look for work and to do work can take 2 hours by foot minimum. We donated 10 bicycles to help these men.
