CHINAR International

CHINAR was launched in 2003 in northern Virginia for the rehabilitation of orphans and vulnerable children in conflict areas. Between 2004 and 2011, CHINAR successfully ran a pilot project called CHINAR Home (a home for 20 orphan boys and girls) in Kashmir India, in partnership with a local Non-Governmental Organization (NGO). CHINAR supported the local NGO in Kashmir both programmatically and financially during this time. The partnership also successfully conducted remote sponsorship of vulnerable children and disaster relief activity after the earthquake of 2005 in Kashmir which included rehabilitation of a border village in Uri district.
