Current Situation
For the first few years Vishwas operated in a rented house. 4 years back the trust purchased two houses in JP Nagar, Bangalore.
Maintaining two homes in their current state is not optimal because
- Growing number of children and staff needs more space
- Extra staff and duplication of activities needed to maintain two separate homes
- The structures are built like single family homes and not appropriate to house 50 children
- The structures are old and need repairs
Solution
The trust has undertaken the project of integrating the two houses into one. A professional architect and a civil contractor have been identified. The total expense for the project is estimated at Rs.35,00,000 (Rs.35 Lakh, ~USD $57K.) Existing donors have already pledged Rs.7 Lakh towards the project. The trust is looking to raise another Rs.28 Lakh.
