Welcome to Shuktara
Shuktara is a charity based in Calcutta, India, which provides care for children and young people with disabilities who have no family.
On Monday 5th December 2011 shuktara in Calcutta received the keys to the new house for the boys. As you know we have been trying to purchase a house for some time now and thanks to your generous donations and the hard work of the shuktara team in India, we have finally achieved our goal. When the boys have moved in, we will show you more photos. Thank you to everyone who has been involved in this project.
Shuktara means star of happiness in Bengali. Shuktara Trust UK is a registered British charity. All funds raised in the UK are fully audited and will be transferred to Shuktara in India.
