Children of India - New Orphanage

The Children of India is more than a photography project, it's an aim to raise £5,000 for an orphanage currently being built in Nashik, India.

Amateur photographer and seasoned digital project manager, Michael Mullings ventured on a mission trip to India in Spring 2015. Unsure of what to expect whilst travelling around the villages and busy cities throughout the country, Mullings documented key moments through his trusted companion, his Panasonic camera.

Whilst capturing the youthfulness of those in India, Mullings felt compelled to commit to a heart felt pledge to raise £5,000 to support a new orphanage in the populous city of Nashik in India  and raise the funds in 2016.

 Visiting various towns and villages and meeting many children along the way, Mullings was particularly touched by a street child he met on his final night. Disheartened by the situation, the encounter confirmed his desire to make a difference to many others like that homeless, parent less child he met and his ambition to support the building of the orphanage
materialised. Keen to help, Mullings created the mission to support the Children of India in any way possible when he returned to the UK.  Eager to return back to Nashik with good news and support, Mullings plans to return to India in late 2016 at the opening of the orphanage. 

Mullings held an exhibition documenting the visuals from the Children of India  on Saturday 18th July 2015 at The Gallery on the Corner.  The vibrant and life changing visuals were on display for one day only. There are still opportunities to purchase your unique piece from the collection.  All money raised from the collection will be added to the Children of India orphanage fund.

The total amount of money raised will aid the orphan children's clothing, provision and food. It will also help towards the actual building of the orphanage and furnishing. We appreciate all donations.
