Nandurbar is located in the north-western part of Maharastra, a large state in West/Central India.

The Nandurbar girls hostel hosts children belonging to the Basava, Pawra, Mathuwadi & Khandeshi Bhili tribal community. They attend good schools nearby and the hostel would provide them with excellent boarding and lodging facilities, along with additional supplementation of school lessons in the evening, and activities for physical and spiritual enrichment.

India has been severely affected by the Covid-19 situation, and as part of the prevention measures implemented by the various state governments, our hostels had to be closed and children sent home to their parents. Tentatively, in some states, the hostels might open up in January after the holidays.

For about 3-4 months beginning in April, the construction of the hostels had to come to a stop due to the Covid-19 restrictions, but construction has picked up again.

Roof For A Child's New Home at Selamba is being constructed right now at Gujarat, India - Our new home will house around 100+ kids! The construction is estimated to complete by June 2019.

RFAC wants to pen a quick note of gratitude, because with your help, many children' lives are being transformed! Please see below the photo updates for our 3rd home ( the Inbaraj memorial home in Selamba, Gujarat), which is on schedule for completion by June 2019.

St. Thomas School in Jhawda : Our RFAC Supporters Mr. Roberts & Mrs. Geetha Roberts visited our Jhawda Children’s Home on February 2018 and spent some time with the Jhawda kids! They are really awesome! They are so proud and happy to have you support them! The construction work of the Jhawda children’s building is still in progress as you may see in the photos. The plaster work and the construction work is going on. The current plan is to have the dedication of the new building in the second week of June so that all the girls may move in at that time.

St. Thomas School in Jhawda : The hostels for both boys and girls are functioning from semi-permanent fragile structures that need to be replaced in the interest of students’ hygiene and protection from heavy rains during the monsoon season. This year, the ‘Roof for a Child’ campaign is supporting a building project to provide a permanent building for the girl students of the School. Your partnership in this project will quicken the provision of this need.

The construction is underway in Jhawda, with completion expected by May 2018. We are aiming for the girls to be in the new hostel by the time the school year 2018-2019 starts.

On July 10th, the boys moved into the newly constructed Alwar home. The home still needs some more finishing touches and is expected to be complete by the mid of August 2017. However, it is in good condition for the boys to move in. They began their new school year at the new home! They were very excited and grateful for the wonderful support. Thank you everyone for all the LOVE & SUPPORT!

The construction of the second building is in progress now -- The concrete is being laid for the ground floor. As you can see in the pictures, since the last update, the construction has been going on well.

We have completed the construction of the ground floor of the Boys Hostel building and we are in the process of constructing an Admin building in the same land. As you can see in the pictures, since the last update on January 2017, the construction has been going on well. Foundation has been completed for the second building and bricks are being laid on the walls of the building.
