Who we are?
Barrackpore Avenue Women’s Cultural and Social Welfare Society established in 2001 in West Bengal. BAWCSW owes its existence to the dedication and hard work of Mrs. Camille Johnson and her team who wanted to combat the growing poverty in villages and urban areas. Barrackpore Avenue Women’s Cultural and Social Welfare is providing three proper Homes for the children . Here they are given good nutrition, a strong educational foundation & alternative vocational course , recreation and health care. This will be a solution of solving the problems hidden by the fact that homeless children are invisible; yet by the very nature of their situation, they are included among those that are classified as disadvantaged and poor in Barrackpore. In Barrackpore locality like any other areas of the World, there is growing number of street children caused by poor economy and other.
