Anti child labor day
Carmel Jyothi Public charitable trust is known for its social development activities. Now it is two year that the trust has started “child laborers’ residential school” in the campus of Carmel Seva Sadan. At present there are 45 children.

All of them are given shelter, food, clothing, education and above all the love of Christ.
