CHILDREN ARE A FIRST PRIORITY IN SOBORNOST FOR THE WORLD
Food, shelter, health, a caring environment and the hope of an education are at the heart of what Sobornost For The World has been doing since 2003. In the beginning of our charitable programs, we focused mainly on orphans who were left with no way to provide any of the above items for themselves. We started with school fees and food bags and went on to develop larger projects like building a school in Kenya as the funding became available.

Most of the students we support graduate high school with your support and have even earned scholarships for college! Many of these former students have gone onto nursing programs, started small businesses, attended engineering schools and beyond.

INDIA
In 2014 our Foundation visited the cities of Chennai and Kanyakumari in India. The needs we encountered were different as we noticed people had homes, furniture but no extra funds for health, food or school. As the country's population is growing over one billion people, and Chennai being the fifth largest city in the country with a population of 6.7 million, we knew there was work to be done. We focused on helping a school for special needs, a community of nuns who were in sole guardianship of six children, families who needed educational support for their children and supplementary food. During our trip, we saw a parent who was separated from her child due to poverty and others struggling to keep their children in school. We observed a great need for special education where challenging disabilities were not fully serviced and so we began helping one school run by nuns. In the coming years we hope to provide a place where more children can be cared for and educated.
Our programs today consist of helping to support whole families with food staples on a month by month basis. These food staples reach far and wide and help support those who cannot support their families due to health, no available employment, widows who are last to find work, etc. People who have found work are then moved out of the program, while new people are processed in allowing more people to receive food.
School support for developmentally challenged children is given in annual grants and periodically we take new children into the program who need school support.
