Dr Graham’s Homes in Kalimpong, North East India, is a day and boarding school for around 1500 students. This unique institution was founded in 1900 by Dr John Anderson Graham, a Church of Scotland missionary. Since then, deprived Anglo-Indian children from the back streets of Calcutta and beyond have found a home, loving care and a sound education at the Homes.
The UK Committee for Dr Graham’s Homes is a registered charity, based in Scotland, which pays for the education, board and lodgings of about 250 children at the Homes.
Troon has been associated with Dr Graham’s Homes since 1973 when the Rev John Webster returned after nine years at Dr Graham’s to become minister at Troon Old. The work of “Troon Friends” carries on that personal association with the Homes.
