Samaritan Help Mission is a small education charity based in the Tikiapara slums of Howrah District in West Bengal, India. It started operating in 1999, and helps over 450 children. It is run by Mamoon Ahktar, who grew up in the district and works part-time as a school librarian. Tikiapara has traditionally been a drug peddling den, with many problems. Our school is helping women and children to become educated and self-reliant to help the community to become healthy and strong.
