Vision
Our vision is inspired by the true “saint of the poor,” Mother Teresa, who said, “We cannot do great things, only small things with great love.” TIG hopes to improve the lives of as many individuals and families as our finances will permit. TIG is a 501(c)3 Organization. Families We Serve The first two families supported by TIG were the families met initially, either by accident or providence, on that first trip in 2008. The circle of support has moved beyond these “first families,” but due to limited funds, not far enough. The work began with a few families in two towns, Khajuraho and Varanasi, and has now expanded to include a family in Delhi. |
DelhiDelhi, in northern India, is the country's capital. With a population of 20.5 million, it is a sprawling, sweltering city encompassing all India's diversity. As is often or always the case, the urban environment is particularly hard on the poor and there are many of them in Delhi.

KhajurahoKhajuraho is located in central India. The 2001 census gives the population as 20,000. It is quite rural and the caste system is alive and well. Its main “industries” are tourism and farming. The tourists come to see the over one thousand year-old erotic temples carved under the Chandela rulers.

VaranasiVaranasi, with a population of 3.7 million, is located in central India. Its main industries are tourism and the afterlife. Varanasi is one of the most sacred cities in all India because it sits on the banks of the most sacred body of water in India—actually considered a goddess—the Ganges River.
