WIDE Children’s Home
Every Child Deserves a Family
For over two decades, WIDE Children’s Home has been giving children in South India more than a home. It has given them a place to belong, hope, opportunity, and a future filled with possibility. Be part of their story.
What We Do
What Every Child Gets at WIDE
A home, a school, and someone who sticks around long after the paperwork is done.
A Safe Home
A bed, three meals a day, and adults who stay for years, not weeks.
Education
Every child goes to school, with extra tutoring for the ones who need to catch up.
A Brighter Future
When they’re ready, we help them learn a trade, find work, and live on their own.
Since 2003

Our Story
A Mission Born From Love
After losing her father as a child, Kumari knew how deeply love and support could change a life. She dreamed of creating a place where every child could feel safe, valued and part of a family.
That dream became WIDE Children's Home in 2003, and today it continues to give hundreds of children the opportunity to grow up with hope, dignity and a future full of possibility.

Our Projects
Building a Brighter Future, One Project at a Time
Right now, one project stands out — and it needs your help to get finished.
Building an Organic Farm
We're clearing and planting the land behind the home to grow the children's own fruit and vegetables — new plots, an irrigation system, and space for them to learn where their food really comes from. Every contribution helps us finish it sooner.
