Gadens Boern works to secure a better and brighter future for street children in Kolkata

The story of Gadens Boern began with an idea. On a trip to India in January 2012 founder, Pia Lindell Qwist, witnessed the miserable conditions of street children in Kolakta for the very first time. This experience changed her life. Seeing the harsh reality of street children – without access to food, care, safety, clothing, roof over their heads, health care, schooling made her promise to make a difference.

We are incredibly proud to announce that on November 2, 2022, we have expanded our partnership with Missionaries of the Word, with whom we have partnered since 2018. Missionaries of the Word is an organization in India with FCRA approval, that has existed for more than 27 years. Missionaries of the Word will be responsible for the operation of 12 projects in Kolkata, of which we are the primary sponsor.

MISSION & VISION

Gadens Boern supports Missonaries of the Word in their work to help children living on the streets of Kolkata, India, to a healthy, safe and opportunity-rich future away from the streets through access to quality education, health services, daily meals, security and care. It is our mission to help children build faith in life and not least themselves by equipping them with the tools to explore and realise their own abilities, skills and interests with which they can have the opportunity to break their social heritage and create a future for themselves off the street.
