OUR FEATURED CHARITY
The Philanthropic Society and Orthodox Church (The PSOC)
This organization is located in Kolkata, India. It was established in 1992 and runs programs throughout the West Bengal region.
THEIR WORK IS ACCOMPLISHED BY A HANDFUL OF VOLUNTEERS LED BY ONE DEDICATED NUN NAMED SR. NEKTARIA WHO STRUGGLES TO KEEP DOORS OPEN EVERY MONTH. THOUGH IT IS AN ORGANIZATION RUN BY THE CHURCH IN THE AREA, THEIR AID DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE AGAINST ANY CREED OR DOCTRINE. THEIR WORK HAS SAVED HUNDREDS OF LIVES, AND WE HOPE TO CONNECT THEM WITH THE RESOURCES REQUIRED TO CONTINUE DOING SO. THE PSOC WAS ESTABLISHED TO HELP ALLEVIATE THE SUFFERING FELT BY YOUNG AND OLD FROM POVERTY, GENDER DISCRIMINATION, AND ILLITERACY IN THE AREA.

Our Goal
Secondary School Building
St. Ignatius English Medium High School building was inaugurated in 2019 and has received provisional accreditation for the high school grades. The first three floors are operational. The remaining top floor is structurally complete. Funding is needed for furnishings, supplies, and equipment.
Thirteen classrooms still lack
desks at an estimated cost of $2029.00 each.
Our monthly newsletters details updated progress.
Why A School?
EDUCATION HAS BEEN THE KEY TO SUCCESS FOR MANY GENERATIONS. THE NEW SCHOOL BUILDING EXPANDS EDUCATION THROUGH THE 12TH GRADE AND PROVIDES SCIENCE AND COMPUTER LABORATORIES.
THE PSOC SCHOOL PROVIDES A COMPETITIVE ENGLISH EDUCATION TO VILLAGE CHILDREN THAT NORMALLY WOULD NOT HAVE ACCESS. MINIMAL-COST TUITION FROM VILLAGE STUDENTS COVERS THE COST OF ORPHANAGE STUDENTS AS WELL AS ADMINISTRATIVE COSTS OF THE ORPHANAGE AND SCHOOL.
