The Betsy Elizabeth Trust in India
The Betsy Elizabeth Trust (BET) is a grassroots organization in the state of Tamil Nadu, India. BET provides schooling, nutrition and health care to 270 children, ages 2-5, living in extreme poverty. BET’s projects are fully staffed by qualified Indian nationals who manage the day-to-day operations of its five crèches and the sewing and health centers.
BET was officially recognized as a non-governmental organization by the Government of India in 1999 and holds a foreign contribution license, which allows it to receive donations from overseas. Government approved audits are held annually on all Trust finances.
A Board of Directors supervises the activities of the Betsy Elizabeth Trust. BET services are offered to children in need, regardless of religion. The foundation of the crèches is God’s love and children from all religious backgrounds are welcome at the crèches.
