- FOM January 2017
This project focuses on children and young people who find themselves in the peripheries of the poorest state of India: Bihar. The way identified to achieve this is that of literacy, education and socio-cultural training through construction of a school in an area lacking in educational offer and characterized by a high rate of poverty.
General objectives of the project
- Ensure access to primary schooling for all children, including the poorest living in rural suburbs.
- Bridging the gap in adult illiteracy through the involvement of pupils' parents.
- Spread hope and culture also to the poorest young people, essential elements for the integral preparation of future generations.
Specific objectives of the project
- The purchase of land in a village of Buxar (see blue oval in the map of Bihar) and the construction of a primary and secondary school with multipurpose spaces in which to also offer training courses for adults.
- The creation of places where the local population can gather for moments of confrontation, conviviality and recreational and sports activities.

For a new Missionary
Beneficiaries: 85 young seminarians. Beneficiaries already reached: 100 young people. Project value: € 2,400 per missionary student per year. The project aims to support young seminarians who wish to begin a journey of faith in their own land—our mission land—but who lack the financial resources to sustain their studies. Supporting a future Josephite missionary means creating an opportunity for self-sufficiency in mission territories, moving towards an approach that is increasingly less based on assistance. The project provides support for a seminarian during his formation to become a Josephite missionary at the service of the poorest. Reference missionary in India: Fr.

Distance Support – India
Distance Support – India In India, Distance Support is delivered through two educational and social projects working in highly vulnerable contexts, responding to different yet closely connected needs: the right to education, child protection, and the opportunity for children and young people living in poverty and social fragility to build a viable future. The Giuseppini of Murialdo are present locally with a daily commitment that places the person at the centre, regardless of religion, gender, caste or social condition. These projects are shaped by listening to local communities and operate as spaces of welcome, educational growth and human accompaniment. Murialdo Evening Study Centre – Aranvoyal Kuppam The Murialdo Evening Study Centre works across the villages of Aranvoyal Kuppam, Koppur and Papparampakkam, in a predominantly rural area where many families rely on daily labour and children attend public schools with limited resources. The centre supports children who need educational guidance and school assistance, offering an afternoon programme that complements formal schooling. Activities include homework support, study guidance and recreational moments, which are essential for strengthening social skills, respect for rules and cooperation. The project is designed as a family-like and inclusive space, where children can discover and develop their talents, build self-confidence and form positive relationships. It offers a safe and calm environment in which the most disadvantaged children find listening, educational guidance and opportunities for holistic growth. Boys Home – Nampikai Illam The Nampikai Illam Boys Home, whose name means “house of hope”, was founded in 2016 in a rural area of the Archdiocese of Madras–Mylapore and was officially recognised by the Indian Government in 2017. The home welcomes boys who are orphaned or come from extremely poor families or severe social hardship, offering a protected, stable and structured environment. Whenever possible, the project supports reunification with the family of origin, always placing the child’s wellbeing and educational path at the centre. The boys actively take part in community life, combining study, sport, prayer and daily responsibilities. Alongside residential care, the home is also involved in humanitarian support for the poorest families in the area, distributing food and essential goods. The project also supports after-school activities in three nearby villages, ensuring educational support for children beyond the residential programme. Thanks to Distance Support, the project can provide continuous and qualified accompaniment focused on the boys’ academic, personal and emotional development.
