Warn Baby Fold
Warn Baby Fold is placed in the city Bareilly in the northern state Uttar Pradesh. It is located close to the mission hospital Clara Swain. The hospital was the first hospital for women in India and built more then 100 years ago. Many of the children who came to Warn Baby Fold was left there so that’s how they found it necessary to build an orphanage more than 70 years ago. The Methodist Church of India runs both the orphanage and hospital. Under Warn Baby Fold’s care there are more than 100 boys and girls. Financially Warn Baby Fold is dependent on support from Bharat Aid and all the individual sponsors. Some of the sponsored children also stay with their families but due to poverty their education is sponsored. Many of the girls who have grown up at Baby Fold has become nurses and had their education and training at Clara Swain Hospital. Others are staying in boarding schools but Baby Fold will always remain their home where they return for holidays and festivals.Bharat Aid has started a dairy project with 20 cows to provide milk for the children but also income for the excess milk they sell in the local market. We have also with support from Sida and America built a totally new home because the old one was in a very bad shape and not functional. The new home was inaugurated in February 2000.
