Orphan children are often viewed as a burden in rural society. Buds of Christ is committed to educating and protecting orphaned children-those who have lost one or both parents-until the age of 21.

The project supports school and college education by covering tuition fees, exam fees, special fees, uniforms, textbooks, stationery, and school/college bags. In addition, children participate in life skills and value education programs at the Buds of Christ Center in Tiruchengode. During their Diploma or Degree studies, they also receive training in computer skills and English reading, writing, and speaking to prepare them for future employment.
Over the next five years, 100 orphan children will be educated. Girls will be protected from child marriage and exploitation, and all beneficiaries will be empowered to make wise decisions. This initiative helps break the cycle of poverty and enables these children to lead dignified, independent lives.
