Scottish Love in Action

Scottish Love in Action (SLA) is a charity based in Scotland that cares for and supports destitute children in India. We do this by funding two projects in the South-East Indian state of Andhra Pradesh; a Home-cum-School in Tuni and a Home in Hyderabad.

How SLA came to be

In 1999, having raised £28,000 for building materials, 25 members of QII, an Edinburgh Youth Group, visited Tuni to assist in the building of a Home-cum-School for 120 destitute children. SLA, a Scottish Registered Charity, was established on their return home to provide the ongoing, long-term support for the children.

SLA today

Most of the children are orphans and 'Dalit' (untouchable), many of them with tragic life histories. From an initial 120, the home and school facilities in Tuni have been expanded and now support 500 children providing the means to feed, clothe and educate them offering the opportunity of a brighter future.
