Who We Are
We are Scottish Love in Action (SLA), a charity based in Edinburgh, Scotland that cares for over 560 destitute children in the state of Andhra Pradesh, India. We do this by funding two projects run by our Indian NGO partner: a Home-cum-School in the coastal town of Tuni and a Home in the state capital Hyderabad. The children's ages range from infants to eighteen years old.
Many of the children at our Homes have suffered terrible tragedies in their young lives. Most of the children have lost one parent and some have lost both. The remaining children at our Homes have a physical disability or a parent with HIV. Some are Dalits, formally known as 'Untouchables', ostracised and oppressed by mainstream Indian society.
We feed, clothe, house, educate and give medical care to these and other unfortunate, vulnerable children. Our ethos is based on solidarity with the poor and oppressed. SLA does not promote any particular faith or belief system.
