- Reaching the Unreached UK
Reaching the Unreached UK is an organization that exists purely to raise money for the charity of the same name in Tamil Nadu, South India.
Introduction
Reaching the Unreached UK exists to support the work of the charity of the same name in India. It exists thanks to the generous support of our donors.
History of the charity
Reaching the Unreached was founded by Brother James Kimptom. He describes it in his own words:
One day in February 1978 as I came out of the Parish Church after Mass in Batlagundu, the then Parish Priest, Father Michael, brought me four small children, three girls and one boy who was five years old. I was then at Boys’ Village. The mother had died of T.B. and the father died of starvation trying to keep the children alive. At Boys’ Village we did not take girls nor boys younger than seven. I told this to the Priest and got on my motorbike to go back to Boys’ Village. Half way there a “voice” told me to go and get those children. My response was; “what will I do with them.” Again the “voice” said; “you will be shown.” Thirty years ago this is how our whole Family-care system started.
We employed a lady to be the “mother” of this family and gave her at Boys’ Village a small house. In the years to come the families increased to 95 and moved away from Boys’ Village to several centres. Now we have four Children’s Villages, four teenage girls hostels, two boys’ hostels including one for HIV+ teenage boys, 110 children in residential schools, 90 doing advanced professional students, many already employed or married. Altogether there are 955 boys and girls in our present full-time care.
And all this started with one small orphaned family.Now we are starting yet another beautiful programme for about 200 mentally challenged children.
The work of the charity
The main focus of Reaching the Unreached is looking after children who have lost one or both parents, often to HIV/AIDS or TB.
