The India Sponsorship Committee is a registered organization working in India for the last 45 years. Having pioneered the child sponsorship programme in collaboration with child welfare agencies as project partners, the concept of community sponsorship was evolved and the ISC developed a community based programme with a focus on child-centered development. In 1967, ISC took the initiative to act in favour of children, to light up their life with the torch of education. The Right to Education meant giving the underprivileged child the gift of education by providing their families with enabling support. To date over 10,000 children have been sponsored through this programme.
In 1970, the Antar Bharati Balgram at Lonavla was started for orphans and destitute children. Over 100 children live in 10 family homes under the care of a foster mother. A secondary school and an Industrial Training Center, on campus, ensure their complete rehabilitation in society by the time they are adults. The Pune Urban Community Development Project was started in 1982, focussing on the girl child and the working child. Balwadis for migrant children and vocational training for the girl child to promote income generation for women are two major areas of concentration.
The School Based Education Support Project in Sion, Mumbai, since 1999, helps the children from slum communities to continue education by providing educational requirements through study classes, health care and extra curricular activities. Counselling is given to prevent the girl child school drop-outs.

Sangeeta lost her father when she was very young. Her mother was suffering from a debilitating illness and due to extreme poverty she admitted her three daughters in Balgram. Sangeeta was an active and cheerful child. Although average in study, she worked hard and passed her SSC with good marks. She then joined the 18 month Nursing course in KEM Hospital Pune. She has now become a permanent staff for nursing at KEM and earning a good salary, with which she is a support to her family.
