1) To assist the poor in West Bengal, India.
Our first priority is with orphans and children that have been abandoned. We will provide shelter, education, medical care, and a loving and safe environment in which children can flourish and discover their full potential and purpose for their lives.


2) To communicate the Christian message of Gods love and forgiveness.
Volunteers will receive training and preparation in the U.K. to work as part of a short term mission team. Teams based at a Stepping Stones Community Centre are linked up with partner Churches in West Bengal and take part in rural outreach programmes and teaching seminars.


3) To assist the sick and those at risk of sickness.
Stepping Stones Community Centres will provide free pre and post natal clinics for mothers and their children up to age 5. Staffed by a full time qualified nurse and overseen by the local G.P., volunteers from the U.K. can assist on short or long term placements. In addition, children residing at the centres will receive Œin house‚ medical care.


4) To provide practical helps.
Skilled workers and labourers receive training and preparation in the U.K. to work with short term mission teams. Teams are then linked up with established partner Churches in West Bengal and take part in building and maintenance work for the benefit of the poor in those communities.
