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 and Tuni 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 have been expanded
and now support more than 450 children providing the means
to feed, clothe and educate them offering the opportunity
of a brighter future. |
