    Typisk dag

    Mostly every Saturday and Sunday the boys are living at our home. Monday to Friday they go to school between 10 am to 4 pm. Volunteers can play with the boys before school and then walk them there. During school hours volunteers can organize games and activities for the boys as well as make any improvements to their living conditions or work on any of the projects that we aim to carry out. You can also have time to yourself during their school hours and can choose how you spend it. After school, volunteers can help children with their homework and extra study as well as introduce them to new games and engaging activities. Currently, food is delivered daily for the boys, but if volunteers can cook some dishes it is appreciated. 


    Our society recognizes the uniqueness of each child and is committed to treating each child as an individual. Yet it also recognizes the huge significance that kinship and family play within Indian culture. It works hard to offset the limitations of large institutional care in which children are robbed of "normal" family structures and in turn, role models of positive parenting. Our Orphanage recreates a real family so that the children can internalize family values. For this reason, the orphanage house has a maximum of 20 children, thus maintaining its family environment. A permanent staff resides in the house to take care of the children and the maintenance of the house. A group of volunteers helps in the different aspects of running the home and caring for the children. In the future, they become very good citizens.

    Om projektet

    Bulbulir Basa has provided Food, Shelter, and education for homeless and street children. We need volunteers to help out with our children with education & computer.

    Möt din programledare

    The BULBULIR BASA WELFARE SOCIETY was found in December 2001 as a direct response to the high levels of homeless and street children in Kolkata. This orphanage provides a safe and secure environment for these vulnerable children as well as a loving family atmosphere, dedicated to helping the children build their character and to advance in their academic studies.

    The number of "Street Children" far exceeds the number of places available for residential care. Street children are often drawn into Child Labour which is irregular, poor paid, and often hazardous. UNICEF estimates that there are approximately 100,000 street children in Kolkata. Among them, about 20,000 are child labourers. These children are robbed of their childhood and innocence. The organization has realized that the principal reason children continue to live on the streets is the lack of adequate medical care and educational opportunity. Only if these two areas are addressed can there be any possibility that the children can break the cycle of deprivation?

    Bulbulir Basa is dedicated to offering a home for some of the many street children in Kolkata, as well as operating a medical dispensary for the poor. The children attend an English Primary School and Bengali Secondary school from Monday through Friday, with additional tutorials in the evening, where the boys can study and work on schoolwork. The children have formed a close-knit living family and have adjusted well to school, as well as maintaining high standards and good discipline. In Kolkata, the number of “street children” far exceeds the number of places for them to live.  Another objective of the society is to continue to run an on-site medical dispensary offering medical care for the sick and the destitute. The medical care that is offered is free of charge to people of all ages and religions within our community. 
    Come join our family by volunteering, and experience something life-changing.  

    It is very important the orphanage maintains consistency in the boys' care. We ask that you consider your travel plans carefully and honor any commitments to volunteer. We prefer you to make arrangements one month prior to arrival.
