We are delighted to inform you that on 1 June 2023 we moved our Bekind Boys to a new home in Kolkata. 

As our 25 children have grown since we first opened Bekind Boys’ Home in January 2012, so too has the demand for more space. Our old building served us well and since opening it has been a wonderful asset providing shelter, care, and refuge for some 55 vulnerable boys.

For several of the boys who were with us since we opened the original Bekind Boys’ Home in January 2012, it was an emotional event in their young lives as it had been their home, their place, their sense of security for 11 years. “Nostalgic” was the feeling expressed by them on departure. 

This move was only possible because of the generosity of our donors for which we are so appreciative. The new building is in the same area as the previous home, so schools remain the same for the boys. The new building offers double the floor area giving us the potential to increase the number of children who are in need of protection.

Our gratitude also goes to our partners in the Hope Kolkata Foundation, without whom this move and the Bekind Boys’ Home would not have been possible.
