Candle for India is the UK charitable arm which supports the work of the Deepti Centre for special needs children in Kerala India.

The charity was established in 2009 and has funded specialist equipment, training and modifications to the existing building. Annually, the charity funds the running costs of the school bus, the salaries of the physiotherapists, and special needs teachers as well as a receptionist to greet new prospective parents and children.

The school is supported teachers and staff from Villa Real Special School in Durham and we are grateful for their input and encouragement every year.
