What we do
-
The Centre was started in 1980 as
a unit to receive and care for infants
brought for admission to the
Chatnath Homes SOS Children's
Village orphanage.
Soon we had childless couples
knocking at our door. "Would you
give us a baby to bring up as our - own? Why would you send a toddler to an orphanage when we have room in our hearts and our home. We can give a child a loving "normal" home environment?". So Karnaprayag started to process adoptions in India.
- Bit by bit Karnaprayag reached out on an individual basis to more and more people who needed help - pregnant women who had nowhere to go, childless couples who wanted a baby desperately, young women who wanted training to specialize in infant care. We started educational programs for young mothers about affordable nutrition, simple hygiene and immunization routines. We publicised the adoption option and legal procedures involved, the importance of the girl child.
- In 1992 a separate Karnaprayag Trust was created to take over the expanded activities of the original infant reception centre. So today, although our focus remains those tiny, abandoned bundles who grasp our hearts, we also reach out to the emerging needs of the peripheral community around these infants. Today we are "The Karnaprayag Centre for Women and Children".
