A key purpose of BSG is to support fellow Christians in South India in their work there with the poor and under-privileged. Some things you can do to help include:-
Prayer: for the Homes, children, schools, churches, individuals. Volunteering: We can encourage and help build up the Christian communities there - for example, in the medical, nursing, midwifery or teaching world. Sponsorship: Another idea is sponsoring midwifery or nursing training, which both creates needed skills and provides a career path. (It costs about £100 for a 1 year initial training course, or £220 per year for a 3 year qualification). Regular giving: At present our only long-term funding commitment is the Halvi Boys Hostel which costs about £7,900 per year – that’s about £190 for each of the 42 boys - less than £17 per month. One-off giving: for a specific purpose - for example an improvement project at a Church, Home or School, or to provide additional resources is a way others are involved. Please contact one of the Trustees for more details on any of the above topics. BSG Financial efficiency: Massive benefits can be achieved from relatively small amounts of money. Added to this, of every pound given to the BSG over 99% actually reaches the specific need in India. There are no “overheads” either |
here in UK or in India for either fundraising or administration. The only costs we have are bank transfer charges – approximately £40 - £80 most years. The benefits can be increased further if you can Gift Aid your contribution. Please contact the Treasurer.
