Orphans and abandoned children – bangladesh
Since 1813 the Religieuses de Notre Dame des Missions (RNDM) sisters have given refuge and shelter to abandoned children and to children from the Chittagong slums. The children’s ages range from new-born to 17 year olds.
The sisters provide them with a stable welcoming environment where all of their needs are met. They receive good food, medical care, education and protection.
Most of these abandoned children are girls as they are not as valued in their society. Over the years many of them have become nurses or embarked on vocational work.
