The community of Bhopal has graduated

In 2021, the community has transitioned from sponsorship to self-sufficiency and World Vision is no longer on site. Local people and organizations have been equipped to take over and lead the community's development - and that is something to celebrate!

Program Details

With the help of your generous and loving support, life in Bhopal has transformed. Children and families are much stronger now. The community has met its goals, they have graduated to self-sufficiency and World Vision has left the community to help another one. Your support will have a lasting impact for years to come.

Context

The Bhopal (pronounced Bo-paul) community is located in an urban area of central India, about an overnight train ride from New Delhi and Mumbai. Many people know Bhopal as the site of the Union Carbide industrial disaster in 1984, which led to the deaths of 20,000 people and caused injury and disease to more than 600,000 others.

There is much poverty in Bhopal. Official figures indicate there are 384 densely populated slums here, many of which are situated on the banks of rivers and steep slopes. Children and their families living in these slums have no access to clean water or sanitation services. Housing ranges from brick and cement structures to simple dwellings made of wood, mud, and plastic.
