In the charity's own words
The Children of Sikkim supports the education of children of deprived backgrounds from Sikkim, NE India, at institutions in India. We fund students at Dr Graham's Homes school in Kalimpong, via donations to Dr Graham's Home UK. Students in further education we fund directly. Our income comes mainly from sponsors who collectively support a young person. We also have some large private donors.
