Basic Human Needs (BHN) Indian Children’s Development Society
BHN was formed with the belief that if you provide basic human needs to a child you will be able to break the cycle of poverty. We believe that we can break this cycle by advancing education and begin alleviating poverty to poor and homeless street children. These basic human needs include education, shelter, food and caring.
BHN is a non-profit located in Vancouver, BC. BHN supports the work of the Jeevan School in Varanasi, India. This is a independant organization in Varanasi that runs a free school and free hostel for street children, as well as provides a clinic space for free medical care.
