Day Care/Child Development Centres
These centres provide care before and after school with meals, activities and homework supervision. Clothes and school uniform are provided along with medical care and children are taught self-discipline, personal hygiene and a work ethic which they pass on to family and peers. The local primary schools have been transformed with full attendance rates and extra teachers provided by government. There is a waiting list at each centre listed below:

Trinity Day Care Centre
Kudunure, Andhra Pradesh for 100 children is supported solely by funds raised by Friends of TREAD and has run since September 2000. It costs just £10 a month to provide 6-day week care for one child throughout the school year including 2 sets of new clothes a year and 2 nutritional meals a day

Compassion Aided Child Development Centres

• Sarah CDC in Podia, Orissa on a 3.5 acre site purchased by Friends of TREAD works in partnership with Compassion International who fund the running costs, whilst Friends of TREAD fund the management and infrastructure. Opened in 2002, 277 children now attend daily and it acts as the base for two more satellite centres run in partnership with Compassion near to Podia.
• Hannah CDC, in Dubathota — an isolated, poverty-stricken forestry tribal village. The centre opened in 2004 and now 252 children attend daily.
• David CDC, Girkinpalli  opened in early 2006 with 142 children. This number has since increased to 216. Adjacent land recently purchased will allow further development.

Grace Tailoring Centre, Podia Orissa
This workshop provides 12-month courses for 20 needy girls to give them a skill for life and independence. At the end of the course each girl is given her own sewing machine.
