BCMS Corporate charity - money isn't everything

BCMS has a concern to help people for whom life has not been so kind, which prompted the Directors to form a Charitable Trust, called “The Poor and Needy Benefit Trust". It is designed to help people in some of the World's most deprived areas, in particular the Indian cities of Kakinada and Bangalore.

To date, the Trust has been involved in the following charitable projects:

arrow The construction of a three-storey School in Kakinada, to educate 370 children from poor homes. The building has subsequently been extended to incorporate permanent accommodation for 50 orphans and 25 widows, with food and clothing provided by regular donations from the Trust.

arrow Financial support for the construction of an orphanage in Bangalore, for 17 abandoned and orphaned girls, between the ages of three and ten years. The Trust has accepted the long-term responsibility to provide finance for educating, feeding and clothing the children, as well finance to support full-time helpers. The children were rescued from horrific conditions. For example, the three year old was abandoned naked on a refuse dump, where she lived alone for six months eating whatever scraps of food she could find on the dump. When rescued she was filled with worms and covered in lice. We are pleased to report that now, eight months later, she is well fed and lively, loving her new “family” at the orphanage.

arrow Sponsoring a self-help village project, in North India, organised and run by an Indian national. The object of the project is to help the villagers develop their own farming business, to become self-sufficient.

Each year a Director of BCMS personally visits the projects to ensure that the money donated really is benefiting people in the way it was intended.
