Kolkata City Mission
Child Sponsorship
Sponsoring a child in Kolkata for just $30 per month will change their life by providing them with a formal education, and one additional meal per day that they would not otherwise receive. Education and mentoring are the keys to escaping the slums. Without education, young girls fall into the traps of the street including prostitution, abuse, and begging. While boys are forced into hard manual labor with no hope of breaking away.
3 Reasons to Sponsor a Child Today!
1. Better future - Research shows that sponsored children are more likely to stay in school, continue education, and to pursue a better career.
2. Transforming Communities - An educated child can impact their community for positive change.
3. Provide Strength and Motivation - When you stand with a child during his/her formative years, the child will be encouraged and motivated to go farther.

Sponsoring Teachers
We love our teachers.
The need for quality education in rural India is urgent. Our school faces ongoing challenges of attracting quality teachers, as most of our educators travel over 60 kilometers from urban areas to reach us. They endure significant hardships, and their compensation does not reflect their qualifications or the obstacles they overcome daily.
In an attempt to make this world slightly smaller and demonstrate our dedication to sustainable, quality education in our world, we are seeking all lovers of educators, including current and retired teachers, to sponsor/subsidize the salaries of one or more of our fantastic teachers.
School Project
In partnership with Kolkata City Mission (KCM) and many private donors, an english-medium school has been built in a rural village of near Kolkata, India. Currently this school educates 250 children who previously had no access to education of any kind.
Professional, Indian-national, English-speaking teachers, using the Indian government’s English-medium curriculum, now educate these children.
The ultimate goal for this school is to become the model in the region for quality open-access education for over 1000 children. In order to accomplish this goal, the additional wings of the school must be funded and built. Please consider donating today.

Kiran Social Enterprises
Kiran Social Enterprises is a multi-media jewelry studio, textile and artisan training centre for women living in a marginalized community in Kolkata, India.
Kiran jewelry is based on copper and the iconic Indian sari.
We love the use of reclaimed saris in the Kiran products. It is aesthetically and symbolically beautiful to see this icon of feminine India celebrated, loved and affirmed by women of other cultures around the world.
