We invest in lives through compassionate and holistic care to foster generational impact among vulnerable communities in the Kolkata, India region.
APPROACH
Almost seven decades ago, Mark and Huldah Buntain set the trajectory for compassionate ministry; showing unconditional love and support for any and everyone with programs that are vital in assisting people to lift themselves from poverty. They began compassionate care programs that continue to bless the people of Kolkata, India and the surrounding region, accepting people from all walks of life, no matter their race, religion, or whether they could afford care. The Buntains were a beacon of kindness, compassion, and most of all, love.
At the Buntain Foundation we strive to heal, enable, and empower vulnerable communities to create their own legacies for generations to come. We do this by meeting the people of Kolkata where they are and showing the same love and compassion as the Buntains did for so many years.
