Karuna Niwas; Indian Mission with Celine Maniyani in Bangalore India
 

Karuna Niwas means Home of Compassion.  It is located in Bangalore India.  It is an independently run Christian shelter for women and children with no where to go.  100% of any funds sent go directly to the mission founded by Celine Maniyani.  Celine left the convent to follow her calling of helping young women of India.  She has been doing this for 24 years.  We would love to send you more information or talk to you on the phone.  Presently the congregation of Fletcher United Methodist Church in Fletcher, NC, along with others support her mission and you can send funds to her through the church. We receive a Christmas Eve Offering that goes to her, please add your fund raising efforts to ours any time during this joyous season.
