Bachehaye Ma 

We continue our support for Bachehaye Ma in Kerman as they move into expanding their program outlines last year to accept children under 4.  We funded the center operations with a $10,000 donation last year (1398/2019).

These funds were used to partially pay the cost of running Bachehaye Ma’s children’s homes.
