Calcutta Mercy

Calcutta Mercy We are a group of creative and passionate people, determined to radically transform lives. Institute.

Our mission is to feed, educate, and medically assist the deserving of Calcutta, India. In 1954, Dr. Mark and Dr. Huldah Buntain, with their daughter, Bonnie, sailed to Calcutta for a one-year missions trip. Observing first-hand the growing plight of India’s poor, they began to launch a series of compassionate ministries. Their one-year stay suddenly turned into 55 as their efforts grew into a large holistic network of programs. Now, with the help of numerous sponsors and more than 300 international volunteers yearly, we are able to provide:

Healthcare: Today, Calcutta Mercy Hospital is a six-story facility with 173 beds and 30 multi-specialty departments. Faithfully serving over 100,000 patients a year, 40,000 are treated free of charge. Ongoing programs deliver free medical services to children suffering from blindness, cleft lips or palates, thalassemia, and leukemia. In addition to the hospital, CMM supports 16 rural clinics in villages with no medical care. Education: Since the inception of Mark and Huldah Buntain's first primary school in 1964, the educational network has grown to include 102 schools with a total enrollment of 30,000 students. (school for the blind, the Hope House for disadvantaged children, and a School of Nursing that will soon upgrade to a College of Nursing.) Leadership: Calcutta Mercy Ministries' staff members develop confidence through dynamic leadership training in partnership with Dr. John Maxwell’s L.E.A.D. Online orientations, educational courses, and motivational seminars prepare doctors, nurses, administrators, and chaplains to help more people, in more cities, with the highest quality care

Feeding: Through numerous feeding stations located in and outside Calcutta, 25,000 impoverished people daily receive a hot, nutritious meal. To learn more about Calcutta Mercy, visit:

We hope you’ve had a wonderful , and if you’ve already made your gift to Calcutta Mercy — THANK YOU! We are grateful for your amazing compassion and generosity. Before we wrap up this global day of kindness, we’d like
to share one more story made possible through the power of giving.

Rish*ta grew up in a family that couldn’t afford education. Raised by a single mother with two younger siblings, dreams of higher studies felt far out of reach. But all of that changed once Rish*ta started at a Cry of India school.

From kindergarten through graduation, Rish*ta thrived — excelling academically and shining in extracurricular activities. She eventually enrolled in law school, boldly pursuing a future once unattainable and breaking the cycle of poverty for her family.

She’s also a vibrant part of her church and youth community, grateful for the teachers and supporters who believed in her.

Rish*ta’s story and so many others are all thanks to YOU. You have the power to create transformational change for the deserving of India.

✨ This Giving Tuesday, help open the door for more students to learn, grow, and
chase God-given dreams.

is your chance to bring hope to children of India who are looking for hope and happiness — just like Priyanka.

Priyanka lives in a highly impoverished area of the city with her large family of six people. Her father works as a daily wage laborer, often returning home with nothing to feed their family of six. Daily life for Priyanka and her family was already a challenge … and then tragedy struck.

Priyanka’s only brother was hit by a bus and slipped into a month-long coma. Priyanka was devastated — she couldn’t even eat, fearing she would lose him forever. Representatives from Calcutta Mercy visited the family and joined together with the community for powerful prayer. We prayed for a miracle … and God responded.

Her brother miraculously woke up and recovered. Priyanka and her family rejoiced and their faith in God was strengthened.

Please know your generosity doesn’t just meet physical needs, it introduces children to a better tomorrow through God’s eternal love.

🙏 This Giving Tuesday, help bring that same hope to more families like Priyanka’s.

Today is and we hope you join us on this global day of generosity! By supporting Calcutta Mercy, you are bringing transformational impact to the deserving of India. We’ve had many success stories thanks to the generosity of our donors, and we’d like to share one with you: Amit.

When Amit lost his father to tuberculosis, his mother had to resort to rag picking to provide for her family and struggled to provide even one mea a day. School felt impossible and hope felt very far away.

Through donor sponsorship, Amit was admitted to a Cry of India school (the education branch of Calcutta Mercy) where he was given the opportunity to attend school, have a good meal each day and receive hope!

Even more, he discovered the love of God and shared it with his mother — leading their entire family to find faith, community, and a renewed sense of purpose. Today, all three children attend church with their mother. This is the power of compassion. This is the impact of your giving.

✨ Today, YOU can help more people like Amit find hope, education, and the love of God. 🙏

Give now and be part of a story that changes lives.

In rural India, many families live without access to even the most basic medical care. A lack of hospitals and clinics means treatable conditions often become life-threatening.

That’s where Calcutta Mercy steps in — providing free clinics, surgeries, and hospital support for families who would otherwise go without. From maternal care to life-changing surgeries, your support is restoring dignity and health across communities.❤

But the need keeps growing, and we cannot do this without you.

🙏 Will you join us today to be a lifeline for the deserving of India?

A hot lunch of rice, lentils, and vegetables may seem like an afterthought for many Americans. But for countless children in India, a simple plate of rice, lentils, and vegetables can mean the difference between struggling and thriving.

Hunger steals the chance to learn, to grow, and to hope. But you can change that.

Through your support, children will be nourished, cared for, and reminded of God’s love. ❤

🙏 Will you take 5 minutes today to join this mission? Together, we can feed the deserving of India and give them the future they deserve.

💧 What if water was a luxury?

For many in India, the simple act of washing hands or filling a cup is not guaranteed—it’s a daily challenge. But thanks to your support, Calcutta Mercy is helping turn scarcity into sustainability.

Clean water means:

✔️ Better health
✔️ Safe meals
✔️ Dignity restored
✔️ Hope refreshed

It’s not just water. It’s life.

Let’s keep turning taps on—for good. 🙌

👁️ One heart, fully open.

In a crowded room, surrounded by hundreds, one girl lifts her eyes — searching, listening, longing.

What is she feeling?
Hope? Hunger? Healing?

This is the silent miracle of moments like these.
Where one heart opens.
One soul listens.
And Jesus meets them there.

At Calcutta Mercy, we believe true transformation begins within.
We’re honored to create spaces where people can hear truth, experience love, and encounter the God who sees them—even in a crowd.

Because sometimes, the loudest prayers… are silent.

💥 Meet Kuldeep — 13 years old, from Jaipur.
The middle child in a loving Hindu family, Kuldeep has carried more than just books to school—he’s carried the weight of his father's dreams.

His dad once aspired to join the police force, but when that dream didn’t work out, he became a teacher instead. Then, a tragic road accident ended his career and his ability to provide. 💔

But faith stepped in.
Kuldeep’s teacher encouraged him: “Pray to Jesus for your father.”
He did. And his father was healed. 🙏

Today, Kuldeep studies hard, plays joyfully, and dreams of serving his country as a soldier. He also has a passion for math and a quiet resilience that shines through his smile.

At Calcutta Mercy, stories like Kuldeep’s show us what’s possible when faith meets opportunity. 💫

➡️ Let’s raise a generation of healed hearts and hopeful futures.

🛑 This is what survival looks like.

In the heart of the city, among towering piles of discarded plastic, women sift through garbage just to earn enough to survive another day.

This is not their calling.
This is not their dream.
This is desperation turned into duty.

But it doesn’t have to stay this way.

At Calcutta Mercy, we believe that every life deserves dignity—not just survival. Through education, nutrition, healthcare, and the love of Jesus we’re opening doors for families trapped in cycles of poverty.

Because no one was created to live in a dump.
And every woman deserves a future filled with purpose, not plastic.

🙏 Will you help rewrite their story?

🌟 Hope has no barriers.

She came to the window seeking help—but what she found was joy, dignity, and a reminder that she matters.

In places where many only see limitation, Calcutta Mercy sees people.
And when compassion meets action, walls don’t stand a chance.

From healthcare to education, meals to prayer, we’re showing up behind every gate and every window—because hope always finds a way in. 🙏

🪖 Meet Mahindar — 8 years old.
The eldest of three, from the Banjara community in India. 🇮🇳

Life hasn’t been easy. His dad works as a day laborer, and his mom stays home to care for the family. But when his mother became seriously ill, little Mahindar did something bold…

💬 “My friends said, pray to Jesus. So I did. And my mom got better.”

Faith, for him, became personal. Powerful. Real. 🙏
Now, Mahindar has big dreams—he wants to be a soldier. He loves math, laughs over snakes & ladders, and carries a quiet strength beyond his years.

At Calcutta Mercy, we believe in every child’s potential.
Mahindar’s story reminds us: with love, education, and faith—anything is possible.

💥 Let’s raise up future leaders, one life at a time.
