These are just a few of Gwalior's more fortunate ones. They are already being helped by the Gwalior Childrens Hospital Trust at the new Snehalaya centre.

Gwalior is in one of the poorest and most deprived parts of India. There's very limited government support for health,education or welfare services. Electricity, if available at all, is sporadic. The water supply is unreliable ... there's little or no sanitation. Yet Gwalior has a proud heritage -- and among its people are some with a determination to improve life.

Dr. Sharma at a recent conference

Gwalior Childrens Hospital (UK regd charity) and Gwalior Hospital and Education Ch. Trust and Snehalaya Ch. trust (associate regd. Charities in India) are the inspiration of a UK-based, Gwalior-educated physician, Dr. B.K. Sharma who grew up in the area.

A Hospital was only the beginning!

In more than 12 years, the organisation has grown. It now also operates a school, a mobile hospital, runs rural health services for young and old, provides health education and much more.

Snehalaya (in Hindi it means "Home -- with Love") is the new focus for activities. We plan facilities for 200 children. We’ve almost completed 5 more cottages.  Already we have added a 30 bed hospital on site!

No Government funding

The organisation receives no support from any level of government. It relies entirely on resources raised by volunteers, funds given by its founder, Dr.  Sharma and other trustees --- and on private donors from around the world.!

Your support is vital. 100% of funds received goes to work as the donor wishes. Our email address is: Gwalior.Hospital@care4free.net .
