In India, several million children live in extreme poverty. Just in Delhi, about 150 000 children live on the streets. Bolloré Logistics aims to remedy the situation alongside with the NGO TARA by implementing a sustainable change in the childhood and the future of this underprivileged youth.

Created in 2008 by Pascal Fautrat, social worker for the Judicial Protection Youth in France, and Annick Adam, a retired teacher, TARA is not an orphanage but a true home for children that cannot rely on their parents’ support. The NGO welcomes 60 young people from 2 to 22 years old in its 4 homes: TARA Tots for very young children, TARA Girls for young girls from 6 to 18 years old, TARA Boys for young boys from 6 to 18 years old and TARA Big Birds for young adults who grew up in TARA Homes. TARA made the choice to foster only 20 children per home to build a family like environment based on trust and closeness.

The NGO provide stability, love and high quality education to children. All courses are given in English to ensure children have a greater chance of joining the best schools and universities in India. In TARA homes, supporting children is encouraging them to become directors of their destiny and to change in turn the life of their families.

By supporting the TARA Tots home, Bolloré Logistics India contributes to real social change in the lives of underprivileged and abandoned children in India.
