Rainbow
Children's Home
The Rainbow
Children's Home was opened
in 2004 to offer the children of leprosy
sufferers, orphans, homeless children found
begging on railway stations and others in
need, a secure home among loving carers,
with a chance to go to school and train
for an occupation.
In 2006 the children moved
into a permanent building, DMC
House, donated by a gentleman
in memory of his wife.
It costs £16 a month to sponsor
a child at the Rainbow Children's Home
and £3 or £6 a month
for school fees.

| Bapuji
Leprosy Colony
Bapuji Leprosy
Colony was adopted by Brighter
Future because it had no
help of any kind since 1999. The old houses
were leaking, there was no reliable water
supply, the patients did not get any medical
care for their deformities and ulcerated
limbs and they were forced to go out begging
in all weathers, into the local villages
and temples, to get food. There are 18 leprosy
patients at Bapuji Colony.

| Prem
Nivas Home and Hospice
Prem Nivas
Home and Hospice was the first of Brighter
Future’s homes for HIV infected children
in an area with a population of 4 million.
Our initial survey of HIV patients was centred
on the trucking town of Salur and surrounding
villages where there were 500 adults and
217 children living with the disease. This
number constantly changes as new people
are infected and others die.
In 2009 Brighter Future
opened a second home, Karuna Nivas, for
HIV children in Narasannapeta. We will be
opening another home for HIV infected orphans,
Jyothi Bhavan, in Vizianagaram in August
2010.
To support a child at
Prem Nivas, Karuna Nivas or Jyothi Bhavancosts
£23 a month, which includes medicines
and education.

| The
cataract operation programme
We have
now helped seventy patients
have successful cataract operations, using
an inserted plastic lens. Being disabled,
it is much more convenient for them to dispense
with spectacles. There are seven more patients
who would like the operation. Each
operation, including surgeons fees, accommodation,
transport and drugs costs £15 per
eye. |

Tailoring - Vocational Training
In an agricultural
area where there is 45% unemployment, it is important
to provide alternative occupations. One girl is
training to be a tailor, four boys learned to
make holdalls and satchels and another is learning
desktop publishing and another is studying commerce.
We have started a revolving fund to enable our
bag-makers to buy the necessary materials to start
their own business.
