Halvi Boys Home
Since 2007 we have run the CSI Boys Home in the remote and very poor village of Halvi. This houses 42 boys who come from surrounding villages to attend the schools in Halvi.
In addition to the paying the day-by-day running costs, we have been able to make many improvements including water supply, toilets, electrical supply, roof repairs, new bunk beds, bedding, water purification and kitchen equipment.
It costs about £17 per boy per month to run the Home. A key matter now is how to secure its long-term financial future so it is not dependant on 'outside' funds. We are currently working with CSI to investigate the construction of 18 offices above the shops in Bellary which we previously helped finance, so that the rental income could provide this long-term security.
